Skokholm today

A wonderful, if windy, trip out to Skokholm: a huge number of volounteers and generous donors have made a massive difference to the accomodation and, this week, the jetty. Staying on Skokholm is a pretty special, with wonderful opportunities to get close to Manxies and Stormies at night: do give it a go this year!

Lots of Puffins around the island, and good numbers of Guillemots and Razorbills on the cliffs. A good view of a female Peregrine on the way out, and a pair of Buzzards close to the Lighthouse.

On North Pond 6 Shelduck and at least 6 Whimbrel.
