It has been a dry week, overcast and with hardly a sight of the sun, but very mild. We are still waiting for the winter migrant birds, although there is a male shoveler at Mannez pond and a pair of pochard landed briefly at Corblets yesterday, then noticed a fisherman and took off again. Liz’s Bird Club walk yesterday morning took in Platte Saline and the Clonque path. They saw plenty of little egrets and rock pipits, and two grey herons. There was another heron at Corblets and two more at Mannez pond. These birds nest very early in the year, so it is perhaps surprising that so many appear in Alderney at this time – their chances of nesting here are nil, until the new woodland is tall!

Alderney is the third largest of the Channel Islands at approximately
3.5miles in length by 1.5miles at its widest point . The island totals
only 2000 acres.

Alderney Wildlife Trust is part of the influential UK-wide partnership
of 47 Wildlife Trusts. Working in the absence of British and European
wildlife protection laws the Trust is the sole body caring for the
island's environment. We are a non-profit organisation based on
voluntary support which helps to maintain two nature reserves and
the island's internationally important wetland (Ramsar) site.

Our work is helping to secure the future of many important habitats
and species, whilst striving to make Alderney a sustainable
community for the future.
