Strong easterly winds have been dominating over the last few days and are forecast to continue until later this week. This has suppressed the momentum of the migration. There have still been a few firsts for the autumn with Pied Flycatcher and Common Redstart over the weekend.

Reported from offshore this morning, a juvenile Common Gull which only occur in low numbers on Alderney.
