While looking out for the Loon, please note that there is this White Wagtail (sub-species lugens) foraging in the beach. Interested fellow birders may take a look.

I think that the dark feathers on the upperparts and the extent of white on the coverts and primaries indicate that this is subspecies lugens. Ocularis would be a much paler grey.
