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. 😉

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.

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. 😉

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.

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’!

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... 😉 😃

“…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 https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/sep/16/we-have-underrated-what-these-birds-can-do-the-secret-life-of-skomers-guillemots-tim-birkhead

Just arrived! I have a couple of A2 sized prints of my recent #painting "Seabird Spectacular!" if anyone would like one...
