Wildlife of the Channel Islands
by Sue
Daly
Introduction
Cradled in the bay of St Malo, the Channel Islands form
an archipelago between the northern coast of Brittany and the western
coast of Normandy.
The
wildlife here is a startling blend of the common and the exotic and that
no other place in Britain can claim a flora and fauna so rich.
A
marvellous mix of plants and animals from much further south thrives
alongside those from northern Europe making this one of nature’s most
dramatic crossroads. The Islands are well known as a tourist destination
and a centre of international finance, but I believe their real value
lies in their remarkable natural history. Click on the links to the left
to discover this wonderful wildlife, both above & beneath the waves.
