No happy Fea's

After last night's news of a Fea's Petrel moving past Yorkshire, I was sitting in the dark, waiting for daylight in Whitburn Obs. Unfortunately no sign of the Fea's, but there was a decent movement of ducks. News of another/the same Fea's passing Spurn got me back for a late afternoon session with fewer birds, but more quality.
