Skomer Island is one of Europe's most charismatic seabird islands, famous for puffins, Manx shearwaters, and a cliffscape packed with breeding birds in late spring and summer. It works best for travelers who want concentrated wildlife viewing on foot and dramatic Atlantic colony photography rather than long-distance searching.
