Channel Islands List

A list of the birds of the Channel Islands is published on the Guernsey Bird News website and has been provided for use by BUBO Listing. This checklist contains "details of all those bird species recorded in the (British) Channel Islands of Jersey (including Les Ecrehous and Les Minquiers), Guernsey (including Herm, Jethou and Lihou), Alderney (including Burhou and the Casquets) and Sark that have been accepted by the islands’ respective ornithological committees". The list is currently updated to 31 December 2007.

Note that lists entered for Guernsey make use of a suitable cut-down version of this list appropriate to that island (the same can be made possible for the other islands on request).
