Key species: Northern Gannet
Since the gannets made landfall last week (6 February 2026), we’d love to draw more attention to this charismatic bird of Alderney.
Recently, on a brief trip to Guernsey using the Trust’s boat ‘Sula of Braye’, around twenty birds were seen gracefully gliding above the water’s surface…these were Balearic Shearwaters!
At the end of 2022, Alex (the AWT Ramsar Officer) and I were offered the chance by the Jersey Marine Conversation to travel to Jersey and attend their Marine Mission Event!
Alderney's Ringed Plovers fledged a record number of chicks this year.
