Literally Littoral 3. Vertebrates












Vertebrates of the Quiberon coast included a range of lizards with a male Sand lizard (Lacerta agilis) and two rather varied females. Birds included small grey waders (probably Sanderling Calidris alba); White wagtails (Motacilla alba alba); Cormants (Phalacrocorax carbo); Rock doves (Columba livia); diving Gannet (Sula bassana); a Grey wagtail (Motacilla cinerea) and Serin (Serinus serinus). There were also masses of European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus).
