Just learned that there is a #TongueOutTuesday so it’s as good enough reason as any to share another shot of my favourite birds.

Oh, I wish! I was on Skokholm (Skomer’s sister island) for a week four decades ago, & sitting in Crab Bay watching the puffins was an endless delight! #Skomer #Skokholm
The bird I photograph the #most has to be the adorable puffin. I will never tire of their endearing behaviour or the rumbling squawks that emanate from their burrows. 😍 #BirdOfTheDay #puffins #Skomer #Wales #nature #conservation #birds
The puffin, one of our most adorable birds, captured here in #goodlight on Skomer, Pembrokeshire. The island hosts the UK’s largest breeding colony with a record breaking 43000 this year. A retirement goal of mine is to work on the island as a volunteer. #BirdOfTheDay #photography #Skomer #addbirder
A lovely moment of interaction between a boat captain and a gull shipmate. Every trip to Skomer, the gull is called in to be fed. #gulls #BirdOfTheDay #photography #nature #Skomer #Wales
Inspired by her time as a Long Term Volunteer on Skomer this summer, Amy has created a 2026 calendar featuring her favourite island animals. She'll be donating 10% from every calendar sold to the Trust.

🇬🇧 British divers found a 𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗮𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 device while collecting debris in the sea.
They spotted an RGB-1A hydroacoustic buoy near #Skomer Island. It is used to detect submarines.
Similar devices have appeared on beaches in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Lithuania in recent years.

A bit of timeline lightness.... My day on Skomer a fortnight ago today. #Skomer #WildlifeTrust #Cymru #Pembs
Some puffin snaps from my time on Skomer, full of character from posing in the flowers to racing over the sea. They might look a bit comical, but these little seabirds are serious flyers, hitting speeds of up to 55 mph.

Barn swallow, Skomer Island, Wales.
Tried and failed (many times) to get a good photo midair but was happy when this one settled for a few seconds close to the hide.

Puffin on Skomer Island, Wales. Taken 27th July.
A record 43,000 on the island this year but I went late season and only got up-close (relatively) to half a dozen of them.

Skomer Island, Wales UK: puffins are the funniest flyers. They fly like a potato with butterfly 🦋 wings. I could watch them all day. #photography #Wales #puffins #sony6700 #travel #birds #skomer #wildlife
My second and final trip to Skomer Island, Pembrokeshire yesterday found that a large amount of birds have now left the island until next Spring.
However, some Puffin remain around North Haven, but not for long. #Puffin #wildlife #Skomer #photography
