Which of the Channel Islands is the nearest to France - and at the same time, the nearest to England? It's the beautiful island of Alderney, scene of this month's Radio Nature Trail. Although it's only three and a half miles long, Alderney is a world in miniature, and the home of some exciting birds and plants.
