to sea watch or not?........

2 Red necked Grebes a Little Gull and 95 Manxies went north past Whitburn by 07.15 this morning. Yes to sea watch or not that is the question... local birders are scratching their heads should i go to the obs or not, well we have had northerlies for a few days now and if you look at what has passed the Obs ........you choose
It was a little quieter than yesterday but i got the feeling its still all to happen today. This is what i saw in order of appearance
