  • 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.

In 1814 it remained largely French-speaking, though it had been politically British for 600 years. The island's only town, St Peter Port (which in 1814 accommodated over half the population) had during the previous century developed a thriving commercial sector with strong links to England, whose cultural influence it began to absorb. The rural hinterland was, by contrast, characterised by a traditional autarkic regime more redolent of pre­ industrial France. By 1914, the population had doubled, but St Peter Port's share had fallen to 43 percent.

  • Guernsey & Sark
    6 days Guernsey with Sark 2 October 2018 from £589 Dear members Oh My. Doesn’t time fly! It is hard to believe that it is six years since nearly 50 of us spent five lovely days in Jersey. Why do I raise this? It is that I have not forgotten how a number of you were, at the time, interested in literature, displayed in the hotel, on a day excursion to the smaller Channel Island of Sark which I said I had had the good fortune to visit. It is a unique travel experience. Sark is the last remaining feudal state in Europe and makes an easy and memorable, beautiful day excursion from Guernsey, the second largest of the Channel Islands. Such was the interest while we were in Jersey that, I said I would leave it a couple of years before organising a tour to Guernsey which would include a full day in Sark. My apologises it has taken six years but am pleased to announce that my latest new tour will be to Guernsey and Sark next October. Following my mailing to most of you on my initial planning for Guernsey and your subsequent comments I have been able to reduce the tour price by changing the travel arrangements to high speed ferry from Poole—just 3 hours to Guernsey. I have also changed the date, avoiding the Jewish holidays, on which we travel. I do hope you can join us. Best wishes Denise The beauty of GUERNSEY SARK and its horse drawn carriages ITINERARY Our usual coach pick-ups from Watford Junction station and Bushey Heath for our coach transfer to Bournemouth for an overnight stay at the Suncliffe Hotel in Bournemouth.
