Off the Pembrokeshire coast are two islands, Skomer and Skokholm. Both are part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, and form part of one of the most important seabird breeding areas in Europe. Manx Shearwaters, Storm Petrels, Wheatears, Oystercatchers, Meadow Pipits, Skylarks, Guillemots, Razorbills, Peregrines and Ravens all breed on these islands.
And so do Puffins, and it is these that are highlighted in Amateur Photographer magazine this week. Marine biologist Matt Doggett has a selection of great puffin shots published in the portfolio section. They are well worth a look! The shot above won the student category in the British Ecological Society's competition this year.
Skomer is definitely on our list to visit! (Good web sites: Skomer & Skokholm)
