  1. Another one from the #Pembrokeshire trip over the weekend. I went on the round #Skomer boat trip on Sunday. I think I may have over-done the Puffin photos. It's going to take ages to sort through and find the ones where the boat wasn't moving too much. #Wales #Cymru #UKWildlife #photography

  3. Here’s another Puffin from last Sunday’s Skomer trip. This one is demonstrating how these birds can fly despite having wings that don’t look big enough: jetpacks. Puffin-sized, invisible jetpacks. The secret is out. 😉

  5. A grounded Manx Shearwater who either misjudged their landing, or tried returning to their burrow on Skomer Island (to feed their young) during daylight hours and was attacked by Gulls. My brother Rob and I took photos, marked the spot, and reported the bird to the island’s volunteer staff.

  7. The look of love. 🥰 A pair of Puffins on Skomer Island gazing into each other's eyes.*

    * Or engaged in a staring contest and waiting to see who will blink first. 😉

  9. Look who came to see us off as we descended the steps to the boat leaving #Skomer Island on Sunday! A Common #Seal (Phoca vitulina), who seemed to be fascinated by us landlubbers. We of course were delighted to see and photograph this marvellous marine #Mammal.

  14. Hopping about amongst the Puffins at The Wick on Skomer Island on Sunday was another bird: a female Northern Wheatear (Oenanthe oenanthe). The name we use for this white-rumped Summer visitor is derived from the Old English words for ‘white’ and ‘arse’!

  16. After my visit to Skomer Island yesterday with my brother @rob_camera I may have just one or two #Puffin photos to share with you. In the same way that this #Skomer Puffin may have just one or two Sand Eels for the hungry young Puffling waiting in a nearby burrow... 😉 😃

  18. Crossing from Pembroke #Wales to Rosslare #Ireland, I just saw dozens of #puffins flying close to the Ferry.

    When we first stayed in #Pembrokeshire in 1998, we happened to stay near Martin's Haven one night and simply got a place on a boat to #Skomer Island when arriving at the harbour. I never again saw so many puffins so close.

    When trying to reserve a trip for this summer already very early this year, all trips to Skomer were completely booked and even the wating list filled...

  20. I've been a bit quiet on here, but for a good reason: I was preparing for, travelling to, then enjoying the amazing island of #Skomer of the #Pembrokeshire coast. Spending a few hours surrounded by hundreds of #Puffins yesterday was amazing, they are brilliant little #birds with big personalities!

    My thanks to all involved in protecting their island home, and to the organiser of the party I went with!

  22. “…nobody gives a monkey’s about guillemots [but] There’s gossip, arguments and infidelity – sitting in a hide on Skomer and watching a guillemot ledge is like watching an episode of EastEnders.” #guillemots #skomer theguardian.com/environment/20

  24. Back from a holiday to escape the Austral winter. Was thrilled to see puffins on #skomer with *very typical* Welsh weather

  27. Fantastic day with my Grandson visiting Skomer Island. I bet you can’t guess what his new favourite bird is!

  28. Time for some more content from #Wales I think. Another photo from #Skomer island, one of the most visited places in #Pembrokeshire and for good reason. The puffins will come remarkably close if you stay still and let them approach you, rather than trying to creep up on them. And yes, they're very cute. #wildlife #birds #wildlifephotography

  30. I haven't been posting much from #Wales, so let's fix that. Here's a very rare photo of #Skomer island in #Pembrokeshire. Rare in that there's no birds in it, just lots of Red Campion. This was in 2016; I really need to go back..

  32. My 2022 photo year by month

    #NewToMastodon? It's my 6th day & I love it. My advice from one #newbie to another:
    ⭐ use hashtags generously - it's how you'll be found
    ⭐ write an #introduction post, stuffed with #hashtags
    ⭐ follow people! lots of people! They're likely to #followback. Follow me and I'll prove it!
    ⭐boost lots of posts & share the love!
    ⭐ the Mastodon phone apps are crap for me. Works best on a PC.
    ⭐ relax & enjoy the Musklessness!
