Tel: 01834 844453 Visit: www.caldey-island.co.uk Skomer Island- Skomer is an enchanting island with just about everything an island nature reserve should include and is one of the most important wildlife sites in Europe. A 15-minute boat ride from Martin’s Haven across the often-turbulent waters of the Jack Sound, Skomer measures 2 miles, east to west; and almost 1.5 miles, north to south. For bird watchers, this makes it one of the best sites to visit in Europe, especially during springtime, when the bluebells and coastal flowers (sea and red campion, pink thrift) present a wonderful coloured carpet for the birds to land on. The sheer cliffs support Guillemots (14,000 individuals), Kittiwakes (2,000 pairs), Razorbills (3,500 individuals) and Fulmars (700 pairs). Perhaps the most popular bird to observe on Skomer is the comical “Pembrokeshire Parrot”, the Puffin; over 6000 pairs breed on the island each year. The world’s largest colony of Manx Shearwaters (over 150,000 breeding pairs) is also resident. Curlews, Short-Eared Owls (who prey on the unique Skomer Vole), Buzzards, Kestrels, Peregrine and Oystercatchers also make their home here. The beaches are a year round home to one of the largest seal colonies in the southwest (up to 200), and porpoises and sometimes dolphins can be seen fishing and playing around the rocky coast.
