Alderney revisited

Hopefully from tomorrow I will be up to date with my blogging that I have so woefully neglected for the past month.

I spent the weekend before last on Alderney in the Channel Island primarily to partake in the Alderney Bird Race organised by the Alderney Bird Club. My team won with a whooping, by Alderney standards, 78 species including Long-eared Owl and least expected Sanderling, Whimbrel and Common Sandpiper.

It is a beautiful island and I thoroughly recommend that you visit.
