A stiff WNW wind tempted me to the castle this morning. Visibility wasn't too bad as the threatened rain held off for the first hour and didn't get heavy until after I'd left.
Two Great Northern Divers flying south together was the highlight. Also a total of six Red-throated Divers heading south, three of which dropped onto the sea, conveniently within scope range. I was hoping for a late Gannet and two went past, one of which lingered, plunging into the sea repeatedly. Also, three Common Scoter. Still six Purple Sandpipers in the roost.
