Hiking
Skomer has thousands of razorbills and guillemots, along with fulmars and kittiwakes, who raise their young on cliff ledges while puffins nest in burrows in the clifftop.
Not enough birdlife for you? Skomer also happens to have the largest colony of Manx shearwaters in the world! More than 100,000 pairs of shearwaters nest on the island.

Hiking
There really are Puffins everywhere! They're full of character, and we there in May, when they were greeting their mates again, ready to nest. It was amazing.
The Manx Sheerwaters fledge at night, so if you want the best chance of seeing them, then it is a good idea to stay overnight on Skomer.
