492 Redshank passed Whitburn Obs by 11 am this morning smashing the previous best day total of 187 set in August 2012, and giving us one of the best East Coast totals in modern times
Saint and Magic Mark were in attendance along with Stevie Thunder to enjoy our wave of waders.
Still no Green or spot shank for my obs year list but it was all about the wave
