Managed to see it by scoping into the harbour from the end of the single track potholed road running past the IOM ferry terminal today (& Jean, Rosie, Mario). It was hugging the inner end of the north harbour wall about half way along below the white ‘silos’. Both the harbour and power station police are aware of its presence and therefore birders expected along that sensitive road which today saved the taxing walk in driving rain past the outfalls. Please give your details on request. It may go in the calm weather tonight/tomorrow, but, if not, you have a much wider vista of the harbour from the lighthouse at the end of the walk past the outfalls in case it wanders (eg couldnt see it from the end of the narrow road yesterday)
No obvious sign of the 1st W Little Gull today
