Black throated Diver and 2 Velvet Scoter passed Whitburn Obs by 11 this morning. I nearly didnt make it in today when i hit black ice early this morning as i left my house, but it proved well worth the effort as we had a memorable watch.
Magic and Saint Mark joined me with Hoggie and Walter later.
I was in the Obs on Friday and Saturday but it was very ordinary with no news worth blogging about
