Skomer

Skomer Island National Nature Reserve is situated off the Pembrokeshire coastline and has some of the most spectacular seabird colonies in the UK.

Different species of gulls, puffins (over 10,000 of them), guillemots, razorbills and Manx shearwaters live and nest on the island's cliffs and grassland, in addition to some mammals like the Skomer vole, dolphins and grey seal.

In the plant kingdom, the island is well known for its red campion and springtime carpeting of bluebells.

It is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
