What's that coming over the hut.......is it a Dolphin

8 Bottlenose Dolphins went north past Whitburn Obs this morning on a quiet day for the birds.
After complaining yesterday about the lack of cetaceans, bingo!. The Dolphins showed well this morning i will get the video on to youtube later today. As usual when Dolphins turn up everything else has to take a back seat so I'm not sure what birds i missed, i heard some waders....... This is what i saw in order of appearance
