Luckily it cleared somewhat and soon a Gannet flew south to be followed by the first of 16 Red-throated Divers, again mostly going south. A few other divers passed during the session, too distant for positive i.d. but one of them looked quite like a Black-throated.
After a while I was joined by the wanderer returned, none other than John Valentine. As the visibility improved, a couple of the distant smallish gulls came close enough for i.d as Kittiwakes and we both enjoyed a Peregrine perched on the ridge at Consti.
A couple of Common Scoter and a male Red-breasted Merganser to round off then we had a short walk to the Old College where the male Black Redstart was showing nicely.
