An unexpectedly calmer morning than forecast and there was an arrival of birds overnight. Nightingale is not recorded on Alderney every year and a first year bird was ringed at Longis this morning. There was also Pied Flycatcher, Spotted Flycatcher, Grasshopper Warbler and Lesser Whitethroat seen early morning and 20 Sandwich Tern were roosting at Houmet Herbe on the high tide this evening.
