Vote
for us! Voting is now open in LandLove Magazines awards, and Skomer has been
nominated for Britain's favourite Nature Reserve! Maybe it's the cliffs covered
with seabirds, fields covered in bluebells or the charismatic puffins that are
your favourite part about Skomer, or there’s something else that sticks in your
memory. Here are a few photos of Skomer to show how spectacular it is!
Bluebells in spring. From early April the bluebells start to
show through and peak flowering is around mid-May, giving a spectacular
display, carpeting the island blue.
Skomer from the air. Crown copyright (2015) Visit Wales. A rarely seen view of Skomer, it hints at the bluebell show in spring and shows the vast patches of pink campion that flowers just as the bluebells die back.
Guillemots, razorbills and fulmars
line the cliffs and puffins line the cliff tops from April until the end of
July.
Manx shearwater chick. Anyone who has stayed during Shearwater Week in late August and early September will never forget seeing
these chicks for the first time.
Seal Pups in autumn. August onwards is the best time to see
seal pups, and September is the peak, with seals pupping on the beach just
below the landing point!
We hope that these pictures jog your memory this winter of
how spectacular Skomer is and why it is your favourite Nature Reserve.
Voting can be done through:
Thank you!
