Sounded like someone banging on the window,” wrote one islander. “Set all the dogs barking!”

A commenter said that it “sounded like it was someone trying to break in!” whilst another wrote: “I thought there was someone in the house.”

“Sounded like concord flying over!” added another islander.

“I thought the neighbours cat was trying to get in the cat flap, went on a good 10 seconds,” said a St Peter’s Village resident.

“Nothing picked up on the camera. So glad I’ve seen this post, I can sleep now.”
