WHITE-BILLED DIVER in Orkney

The full summer plumaged WHITE-BILLED DIVER showed well off the Broch of Gurness this evening, still present 21.30 - best viewd from the north edge of the Broch car park looking north-east into Eynhallow Sound. It does take a bit of searching for as it was not especially close and was very actively fishing, spending a lot of time under water.

Also there: about 300 Arctic Terns off the south end of Rousay and another 120 or so towards Eynhallow, at least four broods of Eider, good numbers of Tystie and Red b Merg and just one pale phase Arctic Skua (per Alastair)
