Skomer is an island off south west Pembrokeshire in Wales. It is best known for its huge bird population, including Manx shearwaters, guillemots, cormorants, kittiwakes, puffins, gulls, storm petrels, shags and various birds of prey.
The three square kilometre island is also home to grey seals and a variety of wild flowers.

Boats sail to Skomer from Martin's Haven on the mainland.
