It was dry and sunny for our planned trip to Skomer island and even though we weren’t lucky enough to get a ticket to land we had a tremendous boat trip around the island. It was breathtaking to be on the boat with puffins flying past and landing in the sea nearby. The cliffs were full of seabirds, puffins, razor bills, guillemots and kittiwakes. The puffins have such a clumsy flight pattern and it was the first time for us both to see these comical birds.

At this time of year the rooks have now settled after the busy nest building period and the garden is peaceful and quiet… well it was until all the garden birds became more vocal;  up above us was a red kite, the first one we’ve spotted this far West!

Again we enjoyed a walk along the coast to St. David’s and stopped at our usual place for lunch (the National Park Centre). We always have a good lunch here, although we’ve been given a tip that the breakfast in Jones’s is very nice. We will try that the next time we are down. We noted that badgers are busy in the area, it’s not difficult to find signs of them near Llanunwas and along the coast. Rooks are busy nest building in our woodland at this time of the year. They are numerous and noisy, strange to think that once they’ve completed nest building silence will reign again for the rest of the season. Already we are looking forward to our next visit as May and June are wonderful in Pembrokeshire when the coast will be full of wild flowers. Let’s hope the sun continues to shine!

We must get out to the island one day soon. Surfers at Whitesands and Newgale show that the holiday season has arrived early in Pembrokeshire. It’s almost 8 pm and there are still many people walking the coastal path. When we arrived on Friday morning Phil was looking out to sea when a blackbird flew across the window, hotly pursued by a sparrowhawk which took it in mid air!
