Divers off Aberystwyth

A seawatch this morning with Jude proved successfull with three species of diver! Our first was red-throated picked up by Jude, later on I picked up a group of divers moving south, all red-throated accept one was a black-throated diver. About half an hour later Jude picked up another diver, close in heading north. I got my scope on it and quickly realised it was a great northern, fantastic! Other species seen included 171 manxies, 76 gannets, 17 whimbrel, 8 auks, 3 kittiwakes, 2 fulmar, 1 dunlin south, 19 common scoter, 1 swallow north and a common sandpiper.
