Another frustrating day seawatching from Whitburn. The fog rolled back slightly to give a frantic hour, but even then visibility was never more than 600m. Huge numbers of ducks and waders, but what did we miss? Full results
here. Peter brought in a stunning Convolvulus Hawk-moth. A Yellow-browed Warbler was ringed earlier and still calling at the south end of the big mound.

Just a mile inland it was red hot with blazing sun. At Burdon Moor a Wheatear and 22 Golden Plover were on the newly ploughed field.

5 Black-tailed Godwit and a Wigeon were new in at Shibdon, where 10 Shoveler remained. A Golden Plover dropped in to face the wrath of the Lapwing flock.
