Xmas came early......

 White-billed Diver, Leach's, Grey Phal.....just another day at the office. The Northerly was forecast and for once they got it right, Stoney was in the house and we cleaned up. As usual nobody else bothered until Sir Ian late on and what a spectacle they missed. Big seas, lots of birds....Santa came early
This is what we saw in order of appearance
