2 Little Gulls and a Med Gull passed Whitburn Obs early morning. On a dead calm day i thought i might have a chance of getting some video of our regular White beaked Dolphins, they have proved secretive to date. They turned up as expected if a little late i got the camera on them but it was so dark with the low thick cloud it would not focus, bugger........
With little or no wind not much was moving but this is what i did see in order of appearance
