After the storm...

4 Little Gulls and 31 Pink feet passed Whitburn Obs by 11am today. I was joined by Boy Wonder and Saint Mark and Hoggie. We had high hopes as often after a big blow the next day has birds moving back to where they got blasted from. Well that was the theory...it wasn't so bad really, this is what we saw in order of appearance
