Quite a few birds
and a few waves too ;-)
The Alderney Race is a strait that runs between Alderney and Cap de la Hague, a cape at the northwestern tip of the Cotentin peninsula in Normandy. A strong current runs through the race north of the Passage de la Déroute, a treacherous passage separating the Cotentin from the Channel Islands. When the wind and the race current flow in opposite directions, the sea becomes particularly chaotic: wave heights can reach four metres have wavelengths smaller than 50 metres. The waves break with violence, thus making shipping conditions particularly dangerous. (Wikipedia)
There are also a few gannets, from the colony South of Alderney.
