The gannets are back!   After circling their sites for several days, they settled at Les Etacs and Ortac on Tuesday 2nd February, a week earlier than in 2009.   This has been the pattern in recent years and however much humans may argue about the fact or fiction of global warning, the gannets are sure it is happening.   It has been a cold winter, and although last week was mild, only Friday was sunny.   But like the gannets, birds, insects and flowers have ignored this winter blip and have again come out early.

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.
