6 Little Gulls a Velvet Scoter and no Egrets passed Whitburn Obs by 10.45 this morning. We knew the Great White Egret had gone north over Harlepool, thanks for the news guys, and waited for it, a mega Obs tick. It never came and we soon heard it was at Boldon Flats. I was joined by Saint and Magic Mark this morning and later by Pink Floyd and Desperate Den. This is what we saw in order of appearance
