Glaucous Gull and Merlin passed Whitburn Obs by 10.40 this morning. Pink Floyd joined me for his first outing of the year following a nasty bug. He called the Glauc and was in the strange year list situation of seeing Glauc, Merlin and Brent before Eider. The Glaucous Gull waved goodbye to all the lister's who hadn't arrived early enough to see it, unlucky or what and i even managed to video it waving
