Little Gull, Med Gull and a skein of Pinkfeet passed Whitburn Obs this morning. I was joined by Pink Floyd and Skinny Dipper this morning, not a Mark insight and we didn't do bad for a westerly with bright sun. I was tickled pink to get my first pinkfeet of the year past the obs bringing my year list to circa 84 they were close enough to hear them calling and they win bird of the day for me
