Great northern Diver and 2 Puffins passed Whitburn Obs by 11 today. I was joined by Magic and Saint Mark and Boy Wonder. It was a lovely morning on the coast with none of the forecast mist and fog . Things were a bit quiet but my obs year list had a boost with 5 new birds taking it to 80, Blackcap was the star bird
