A single Little Auk went south past Whitburn by 11am but little else of note. The forecast rain thankfully didn't arrive and the brisk southerly encouraged birds to move. My target bird was Glaucous Gull i still haven't had one this year. Lots of large gulls were going south close inshore for the first hour but as the Stones said you cant always...
