18th July 2021 Unst NW3 Overcast

An hour seawatching from Lamba Ness from 7.45am produced a single Sooty Shearwater and a single Manx Shearwater both flying north and a small pod of c.6 Dolphins moving south but everything proved rather distant. The albino Great Northern Diver and Bonaparte's Gull were both still present at Norwick.

I couldn't identify them but based on a poor quality 'back-of-the camera' image sent by Whatsapp a couple of more knowledgeable friends independently both provisionally considered them most-likely White-beaked Dolphins - thanks both.
