The cold snap with us for the next few days could bring with it a few species not yet recorded here this year. Today we added Dunlin and Kingfisher to the 2021 birds of Alderney list, records here are historically far and few between during the winter months for both these species. The male Gadwall is also still around. Photo (JH) from today a single ‘watchful’ Dunlin that was in company with 7 Grey Plovers and a Turnstone.
