Andy Le Page took this picture, looking out from Salerie Corner to St Sampson’s School and Delancey, of the funnel spout that appeared west of the island.
Guernsey Airport senior meteorological officer Martin Crozier said the sighting had been recorded and reported to air traffic control at 8.20am.
'What we mean by funnel cloud, is a rotating cloud that descends from the normal cloud but doesn't necessarily touch the surface,' he said.
'If it touches the sea we call it a waterspout and if it touches land, it's a tornado and can do a lot of damage, but that's quite unusual.'
Funnel clouds are reported in or near Guernsey on average between three and six time each year.

I saw one of these in Cornwall on Monday. I tried to take a picture, but couldn't get the camera out before it had moved from my vantage point. It was slanting left to right. Incredibly solid and didn't taper at all, it was the same from top to bottom. It was also coming out of a big very dark rain cloud. It was over the Ocean.
