8 Red throated Divers passed Whitburn Obs by 10.30 this morning. After a good run of Little Auks it was hard to find an Auk with early fog eventually clearing to bright sun. Magic Mark was back from Morocco with tales of Black Wheatears and Moussier's Redstarts but even he could not find us any quality birds. This is what we did manage to see in order of appearance
