Family holiday to Jersey over first week of June (my fourth visit there).
The weather started off great and then went downhill rapidly. 71 bird species in total for trip but a few goodies including several short-toed treecreepers (with one in song), breeding white wagtails, Dartford warbler, puffins and Cetti's warblers.
Both green and wall lizards locally quite frequent. Didn't get to see an Agile Frog though.
Pod of 20-30 bottle-nosed dolphins off one of the headlands was good. Five red squirrel sightings.
Plants were excellent and included:
Jersey (lax-flowered) orchid
Lizard orchid
Green-winged orchid
Nottingham catchfly
Small-flowered catchfly
Sand catchfly
Chidling Pink
Western clover
Subterranean clover
Rough clover
Bur medick
Purple vipers bugloss
yellow bartsia
purple broomrape
Tassel hyacinth
spotted rockrose
spotted cat's-ear
Sand crocus
Allseed
Insects included field cricket, clouded buff moth and hummingbird hawk moth.
Cheers
Brian
