    [description] => 

Enjoy the enviable weightlessness of life in Sark, as we step away from the rigours of modern-day life and make an exciting exploration of the wildlife of this beautiful Channel Island, the natural history of which has been infrequently studied. 

In autumn we'll have the chance to enjoy the exciting migration of birds as they pass through on their journeys to Africa. A period of sustained bird ringing during the 1980s demonstrated Sark as a leading bird migration hot-spot with many significant records of rare migrants. We'll enjoy the chance to discover exciting species from other taxa too, species such as Queen of Spain Fritillary, Autumn Squill and Scaly Cricket, along with a genuine opportunity to add to the island's natural history records.

Sark has been declared the first ‘dark sky island’ in the world and we shall relish clear skies to enjoy the masterpiece that is Sark's night sky.

Our hand-chosen hotel was named by Which? hotel guide as 'The place to stay in the Channel Islands'. Each night we shall enjoy a 5-course gourmet meal made with local butter, fresh cream, seafood, meat, fruit and vegetables which, where possible, are sourced from the hotel's own farm and gardens. The hotel itself is charming, and describes itself as being “totally geared to unhurried relaxation – devoted to providing comfort and relaxation for those that arrive to enjoy the calm and solitude of Sark. It's a wonderful place and helps you remove yourself from the rigours of 'civilisation’”.

  • Birds in passage may include Wryneck, Common Redstart, Pied Flycatcher and raptors.
  • Exciting numbers of swallows and martins passing overhead as they make their migration back to Africa.
  • Butterflies including Wall and Queen of Spain Fritillary, rarely encountered on the British mainland.
  • Bottlenose and Common Dolphin possible.
  • Autumn Squill, Ploughman’s-spikenard and Rock Samphire some of the special plants we'll study.
  • We'll search for Scaly Cricket (one of the rarest of British Orthoptera).
  • A real chance to add to the natural history records for the island.
  • An International Dark Sky Island — spectacular night skies.
  • Ferry option available for those who wish to make this a flight-free holiday.
[introduction] => A 6-day holiday timed for the autumn migration – the island providing refuge for an exciting variety of unusual species over the years – and the chance to enjoy such butterflies as Queen of Spain Fritillary and Wall. Our multiple award-winning hotel describes itself as being “totally devoted to providing comfort and relaxation for guests that arrive to enjoy the calm and solitude of Sark”.

From the rolling heaths and woodlands of the New Forest National Park to the extensive wetlands that line the north Norfolk coastline, the varied habitats and landscapes of the British Isles are home to a wealth of exciting wildlife. It is definitely not essential to go abroad when wildlife holidays in Britain offer such diversity!

Sitting in the English Channel, just to the west of Normandy’s Cotentin Peninsula, the tranquil Channel Islands offer truly wonderful holidays for those who enjoy nature. Only a few miles separate the islands from northern France, yet the seas that surround them – warmed by the Gulf Stream – moderate the climate to such an extent that plants and animals normally at home in southern Europe thrive alongside those more familiar to us on the British mainland to the north. In these peaceful and stress-free surroundings, we can enjoy a treasure trove of sought-after species which are not usually found, or are very rare, in the rest of the British Isles. The largest island, Jersey, only covers 45 square miles and so you can be assured that, whichever island you choose to visit, your hotel base will never be far from the day’s excursions and the island’s wildlife hotspots.

The Channel Island’s long and colourful sunsets are unforgettable and the food – often locally grown, caught, or produced – is sensational. On each holiday we will join local experts, who will accompany us in search of the archipelago’s wildlife highlights such as seabird colonies, migrant birds, rare orchids and insects, nocturnal mammals and much, much more. Paired with some of the finest accommodation on each island, our holidays to Jersey, Alderney, Guernsey, Sark and Herm offer a special combination of exciting wildlife and the chance to thoroughly unwind … it will be very hard to leave!

Sark in Style - Autumn Migration

Tour Code: GBR152

A 6-day holiday timed for the autumn migration – the island providing refuge for an exciting variety of unusual species over the years – and the chance to enjoy such butterflies as Queen of Spain Fritillary and Wall.

Summary

Enjoy the enviable weightlessness of life in Sark, as we step away from the rigours of modern-day life and make an exciting exploration of the wildlife of this beautiful Channel Island, the natural history of which has been infrequently studied. 

In autumn we'll have the chance to enjoy the exciting migration of birds as they pass through on their journeys to Africa. A period of sustained bird ringing during the 1980s demonstrated Sark as a leading bird migration hot-spot with many significant records of rare migrants. We'll enjoy the chance to discover exciting species from other taxa too, species such as Queen of Spain Fritillary, Autumn Squill and Scaly Cricket, along with a genuine opportunity to add to the island's natural history records.

Sark has been declared the first ‘dark sky island’ in the world and we shall relish clear skies to enjoy the masterpiece that is Sark's night sky.

Our hand-chosen hotel was named by Which? hotel guide as 'The place to stay in the Channel Islands'. Each night we shall enjoy a 5-course gourmet meal made with local butter, fresh cream, seafood, meat, fruit and vegetables which, where possible, are sourced from the hotel's own farm and gardens. The hotel itself is charming, and describes itself as being “totally geared to unhurried relaxation – devoted to providing comfort and relaxation for those that arrive to enjoy the calm and solitude of Sark. It's a wonderful place and helps you remove yourself from the rigours of 'civilisation’”.
