Pick up your rod

We have some fantastic bays to fish in with rocks and reefs, a variety of species for you to tick off your list and a deep water harbour which is particularly good to fish from at night. It’s not just the locals…

Royal Rarities

Royal Rarities One of the rarest butterflies in the British Isles was seen on Sark recently in the grounds of the Seigneurie Gardens. Resident wildlife photographer Sue Daly photographed a pair of Queen of Spain fritillaries mating in the donkey paddock and later saw one of the pair feeding on flowers in the walled garden. This is the first record of these beautiful butterflies, probably migrants from northern France, breeding…

Hummingbird Hawk-moths

This beautiful moth was photographed outside the Visitor Centre at the end of August. The Hummingbird Hawk Moth flies and feeds by day.  This small but beautiful creature has a wing span of only 5cm, has a white spotted abdomen and orange hindwings.  Their wings beat so quickly they become a blur, darting from flower to flower, unfurling its proboscis to feed: its easy to see how they acquired their…
