Divers exploring the rocky reefs around Sark this month came across a very rare sea slug. The animal, just two inches long, was found at L’Etac, the islet off the south coast of Little Sark best known for its puffins. Sea slugs, known more correctly as nudibranchs, are often very colourful, unlike their land counterparts, making them popular with divers particularly underwater photographers. Most only have scientific names. This one,…

Creux Harbour has been getting a little attention this month as its stonework has been repaired and repointed. So that the stone masons could get to all parts of the wall, Jeremy La Trobe-Bateman brought one of the island’s cranes alongside so that the work platform could be used. The main harbour wall here was completed in the early 1870s replacing a series of breakwaters that were destroyed in…
