03/07/21 @ 06:23 hrs. Saturday 5am birds all fine.  Slight drizzle here similar to mainland, looking for break on channel which we could get around 10am?  New liberation point is far superior to old one, visability all round birds.  When liberated, they will fly inland for couple miles then they will head towards the next island, Sark, then possibly toward the Isle of Wight with South West wind.  Will update later.  Dom McCoy, Chief Convoyer.
