7 Little Auks and 30 Little Gulls passed Whitburn Obs by 10.30 this morning. Magic Mark and Stevie Makem joined me in the spectacular gale force conditions. We enjoyed the Little and Large of sea watching with Little Gulls and Auks passing, and at the other end of the scale Glaucous Gull and Bonxie. If only it was New Years day was the cry
