2 Roseate Terns went north past Whitburn Obs this morning on an otherwise disappointing sea watch. It was a case of the usual suspects but less of them. Pink Floyd came in to help me stay awake and Hoggie at the death
Some local news of interest to birders the Whitburn Lodge carpark is no longer open and has two rather large bolders blocking the road as well as a locked gate, no doubt houses will appear soon. Also the Doctors Garden is lost to birders as its having houses built on it soon, the end of an era, not sure where Cookie will find all of our megas now
This is what we saw in order of appearance
