12 Fort Saumarez is named after the famous Guernseyman James de Saumarez, a Naploeonic War Admiral who saved Sweden from the French. It was built in the early 1800 s during the Napoleonic Wars and extensively altered by the Germans who added the concrete observation tower on top of the Martello tower. The shingle bank lies to the north of Fort Saumarez and in the spring and summer is used by breeding seabirds such as Ringed Plovers and Oystercatchers. At a low tide you can spot Curlews, Herons and Little Egrets. In addition this nature reserve is host to many sea side plants two of note are the Yellow Horned Poppy with its amazingly long seed pods and Sea Kale with its white flowers smelling of honey.
