Well with a dodgy advance forecast, and nippy start to the actual day, it turned out just fine for this year`s venture on to Skomer Island.
45,000+ Puffin are on the island this year, along with an estimated 250,000 Shearwater, plus all the supporting cast. The island didn`t disappoint, and after last year`s washout it was good to get some shots in this year.
The 87 steps are hard work these days, tough on the lungs going up, and even harder on the knees coming down!! However, the sailing is a lot smoother compared to the thrill of hanging on tight in the days of the `Dale Princess`.
I could have stayed on there a lot longer, so here`s to next year .....
