There has been an easterly influence in the wind over the last couple of days giving clear blue skies. The first week of April has been a little busier with migrating birds and insect diversity has also started to increase.
A few firsts for the spring on Alderney this week are Tree Pipit, first seen at Houmet Herbe, Ring Ouzel, on Kiln Farm today and a Black Kite, which was seen going west from Kiln Farm but not relocated.
