20th April 2023 Unst NE4 Clear

With the shift of the wind into the northeast I decided to walk out to Flubersgerdie in the hope of seeing a few large Divers on the move... but during 2 hours I'd only seen a single Great Northern Diver and 3 Common Scoter. I returned home and spent the nice afternoon gardening, but on scanning the wick this evening, virtually the first birds seen were 2 White-billed Divers sat together - adults in transitional plumage.
