Red necked Grebe and 2 Great northern Divers passed Whitburn Obs by 10am this morning. The full team were in and i had to leave early on Grandad Taxi duty, what would i miss.....
Thankfully Saint Mark had already called the close Red necked Grebe before i left to keep my obs list ticking over. Last year i left the obs early and a Black Guilli went past, agghhh, and these guys enjoy making you pay. Friends! i was tempting fate alright.
