After checking the Purple Sandpiper roost (still three), I arrived at the shelter on the castle to find John in my spot, leaning against my post. The cheek of it.
Wind fresh from the south-west and visibility pretty good, though it did deteriorate later.
Not a lot out there, but in an hour and a half we managed 13 Gannets, four Common Scoter, a Red-throated Diver and a Goosander, plus quite a few Common Gulls and the odd Great Black-back.
