Skomer Island, Pembrokeshire, Wales. Sea bird burrows
In addition to the Atlantic Puffins, who nest in burrows close to the cliffs on the island, there are also thousands of Wedge-tailed Shearwaters, who nest there as well. The Shearwaters fish out at sea during the day and can really only be seen at dusk when they come back in to nest and feed their young. Unfortunately we missed this reportedly amazing spectacle.
