Skomer Island

Skomer Island lies just to the South-West of the Marloes Peninsula of Pembrokeshire. Cut off from the rest of Pembrokeshire by Jack Sound, a narrow stretch of water, renowned for its strong tidal currents, the island’s isolation has meant that predators such as rats, cats, dogs and foxes are absent. This is one of the major reasons for the island’s importance as a breeding ground for burrow nesting seabirds. Man is only present in the form of daytime visitors (with only a small number allowed to stay the night in self-catering accommodation run by the Wildlife Trust West Wales), and the warden and students of Skomer’s unique wildlife. All combined Skomer truly is a jewel in Pembrokeshire’s crown, a paradise for birds and other wildlife and bird-and-wildlife-loving man alike.
