Wet Whitburn

With news of greenish warbler at both Whitburn coastal park and Marsden quarry, I headed south after lunch. I arrived at a birder-less Whitburn at about two-thirty, picking up a swift over the south car park - things were looking good. Or so I thought. By five I was quite wet, my arrival had coincided with a miserable non-moving rain cloud, and during the two and a half hours trudging around I'd picked up about three chiffchaff!
