*** White Billed Diver - 1 (Juv or Ad Win) ***
Seen at 1310. It came from the Lighthouse direction. Spotted with naked eye and identified with naked eye as a diver (just to demonstrate how close it was) before being scoped. It proceeded to fly NE past the lookout roughly heading towards Aber but then when it was at a bearing of about "2 o'clock" it veered to the north. All of the distinguishing features seen very well in good light. (What a bill !)
