2 Little Gulls and a Blue Fulmar passed Whitburn Obs by 8.15 this morning. I was late into the Obs this morning following a late night encounter with a Leach's Petrel(thanks Kieran). I was a little disappointed with the lack of birds in my first hour but it did start to improve, sadly work beckoned.
