That Condor Moment........

2 Little Auks and a Great Northern Diver went North at Whitburn Obs in 3 hours this morning. Just back from a birding trip to Ecuador it was pleasing to see from the log book that i had missed nothing of note. There had been some Little Auk passage so i was happy to get a brace myself my Condor moment. I didn't get video of them but did video the Condor see below
This is what i saw on a quiet watch in order of appearance
