The Black Tern is still at Castlehill. I've spent the last three mornings trying in vain to get a decent photo as it feeds along the tideline. Here's a couple from this morning.

Fabulous photos. I have been enlightened - I always thought these were immature Kittiwakes. Thank you. :)

There were four reported on 15 September and two in Dunnet Bay when I checked the following day. This one appears to have been around since then.
