Here are some photos from our interview with Piers Sangan. Piers explains how trained bat handlers supported the Bailiwick Bat Survey and why their work matters. #bats #batconservation #wildislands #guernsey #guernseywildlife #natureguernsey
Piers Sangan is an inspiring ecologist and educator. While the Bailiwick Bat Survey wrapped last year, hundreds of islanders joined in to help track our bat species. Piers explains how trained bat handlers supported the survey and why their work matters. youtu.be/m3kxBuNiDn8
Solitary bees don’t live in hives — they nest alone, often in hollow stems or holes in wood. Bee hotels give these vital pollinators a safe place to rest and raise their young. No stings, no swarms — just hard-working, gentle creatures helping your garden thrive.

We've been busy recording a delightful conversation between Liz Sweet and Dr Miranda Bane about all things pollinators, island wildlife and nature connection! All will be revelled soon... #wildislands #wilderness #guernsey #guernseypollinators #pollinatorproject
Guillemot's of Sark from Sue Daly's Wild Islands. Sue Daly is an award-winning wildlife filmmaker and photographer born in Shropshire.
Every spring, the skies above Alderney shift. Thousands of northern gannets return to the Channel Islands, not because they live here year-round, but to nest — cramming themselves onto the sheer cliffs of Les Étacs and Ortac just off the island’s west coast.
A slice of Spring... Who else is looking forward to summer?

Deep Breath colours... We absolutely love the oceans and landscapes of São Miguel. Stunning forests, coastlines and wilderness!
Snorkelling is one of the simplest ways to connect with the ocean. With just a mask, snorkel, and fins, you can float on the surface and peer into a hidden world teeming with life. It’s accessible, peaceful, and often unexpectedly awe-inspiring.
the wild island of Sark... It was dreamy filming in Sark last year for island pollinators, we can't wait to share more from this film soon! #wildislands #islandpollinators
The most tranquil coastline in the Channel Islands... Sark is a car-free island where dramatic cliffs, quiet coves, and winding paths lead you to some of the most peaceful ocean views you'll ever find.
Sunday watch... Deep Breath. Exploring our connection to nature. zurl.co/sDEhl #wildislands #wilderness #nature #oceans #ocean
The gannets are back in Alderney... Thousands of wings slicing through the wind, bringing noise, energy, and life back to the cliffs. One of Britain’s most important seabird colonies is officially open for the season. #Gannets #Alderney #Seabirds #WildlifeReturns #SpringMigration #NatureWatch
You know where this is, right? The Fairy Ring – or Table des Pions – looks like something from folklore. A circle of stones etched into the grass near Fort Pezeries in Torteval, with a low mound at its centre.
Liz Sweet talking about... Gannets. Watching seabirds is a pretty good way to spot dolphins, so when your looking out to sea always follow the birds! #wildislands #gannet #birds #seabirds #dolphins
Here's Liz talking about dolphin spotting in Guernsey — sharing when to head out, where to look, and what makes seeing these wild animals so special. Full video on youtube. #wildislands #guernsey #dolphinspotting

This time last year we were treated to the most epic sight... a large pod of bottlenose dolphins passing by Guernsey. This was more dolphins than we've seen in one group to date. #wildislands #dolphins #bottlenosedolphins #guernsey #islands
Who's looking forward to summer trips to Herm? Remember to always take a look out to sea while your on your way, you'll be amazed at what you might spot 👀 #herm #guernsey #channelislands #wildlife #wildguernsey #wilderness
