Yellowhammer was historically a scarce breeding bird on Alderney, there has only been three records since 2005. The Yellowhammer pictured is the first to be ringed on Alderney.
It has been a really good Autumn for Snow Bunting, with one or two individuals seen together or individually at Standing Stone and Saye bay over the past week.
Great Grey Shrike was seen at Mannez on the 19th October, the third record for this species on Alderney
