  • Review of Birds in the Channel Islands, 1951-80 Roger Long
    Review of birds in the Channel Islands, 1951-80 Roger Long ecords and observations on the flora and fauna in the Channel Islands Rare treated with confusing arbitrariness by British naturalists in the various branches of natural history. Botanists include the islands as part of the British Isles, mammalogists do not, and several subdivisions of entomo• logists adopt differing treatments. The BOU lists and records have always excluded the Channel Islands, but The Atlas of Breeding Birds in Britain and Ireland (1976) included them, as do all the other distribution mapping schemes currently being prepared by the Biological Records Centre at Monks Wood Experimental Station, Huntingdon. The most notable occurrences of rarities have been published in British Birds, and this review has been compiled so that the other, less spectacular—but possibly more significant—observations are available as a complement to the British and Irish records. The late Roderick Dobson, an English naturalist resident in Jersey between 1935 and 1948 and from 1958 to his death in 1979, was the author of the invaluable Birds of the Channel Islands (1952). In this, he brought together the results of his meticulous fieldwork in all the islands, and his critical interpretation of every record—published or private—that he was able to unearth, fortunately just before the turmoil of the years of German Occupation (1940-45) dispersed much of the material, perhaps for ever. I concern myself here chiefly with the changes recorded during the approxi• mately 30 years since Dobson's record closed. Species considered to have shown little change in status over those years are not listed.

Accounting for the Fund The Companies Act 1985 does not apply to all public bodies but the principles that underlie the Act’s accounting and disclosure requirements are of general application: their purpose is to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the body concerned. The Government therefore has decided that the accounts of public bodies should be prepared in a way that conforms as closely as possible with the Act’s requirements and also complies with Accounting Standards where applicable. The accounts are prepared in accordance with accounts directions issued by the Secretary of State for Transport. The Fund’s accounts consolidate the General Lighthouse Authorities’ (GLAs) accounts and comply as appropriate with this policy. The notes to the Bishop Rock Lighthouse accounts contain further information. Section 211(5) of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 requires the Secretary of State to lay the Fund’s accounts before Parliament.

  • This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Lizard Point
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Lizard Point Starting point and OS Grid reference Lizard village (SW 703126) Ordnance Survey map OS Explorer 103 - The Lizard – Falmouth and Helston Distance 6.2 miles Traffic light rating Introduction: This easy walk from Lizard (the village) takes in the old, very picturesque village Cadgwith with its thatched cottages and Lizard Point, the most southerly point on the British mainland. There are also various other interesting things to see. Lizard village itself is rather spoiled by its homage to tourism but it is a very useful start point partly because there is a large amount of parking (voluntary charge for charity) but mainly because in relation to the walk it is like the hub of a wheel with many footpaths as the spokes. This means that the walk is easily lengthened or shortened according to circumstances, although depending on which “spoke” you pick, you may miss some of the points of interest. The route described includes all the following: The Devils Frying Pan Church Cove Lizard Lifeboat Station Bass Point Bumble Rock Lizard Point Lighthouse Polpeor Cove and the old lifeboat station. In late spring/early summer, the cliff tops are a mass of wild flowers including the intriguingly name Hottentot Fig, a South African invader, which blankets the cliffs at Lizard Point. There is also the possibility of seeing a variety of sea and marine life.

    LOW WATER MEN A novel by William Gasston The British Channel Islands lie in the Bay of St Malo, just south of the Cherbourg peninsula closer to France than England. In 1940 the Germans invaded the islands and thus began five years of purgatory for the local population. 1 First published in February 2018 by William Gasston Cover, page design and overall production by William Gasston Copywright William Gasston All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced in any form without prior permission of William Gasston. Disclaimer Low Water Men is a work of fiction which has been based on historical fact. Except for some historical wartime leaders, the characters are all figments of the author's imagination . Any similarity with any living person is coincidental. Acknowledgements Many thanks must go to the Jersey Evening Post for their permission in being able to reproduce the text of the orders of the German High Command during the Occupation. I am deeply indebted to Peter and Verity Cruickshank of Jersey who have been a major source of information, their family and friends being low water fisherfolk since long before the war. Thanks also to my good friend Phil Greaves of Lambley, Nottingham, England who undertook the edit and encouraged me to push on. Website Whatever you think about the pros and cons of the internet, it is probably( up to now!) the major game changer of the twenty first century. It disseminates information and opinions faster than a speeding bullet. I have set up www.lowwatermen.com so that any reader, who has been kind enough to peruse and enjoy my story, could access information regarding the Channel Islands and the German Occupation.
