Skomer Island

A first blog post by long-term volunteer Lou about her first few weeks on the island - from bluebells to biosecurity, she's had a great first few weeks! skomerisland.blogspot.com/2026/05/blue...

The thrift, campion and bluebells are in full bloom on Skomer at the moment - it's a lovely sight and smells great too! What's your favourite thing about May on Skomer?

It's a beautiful morning here in North Haven. The boat is just coming round the headland and it's 1st April - Skomer Island is now open!

Five go to an island! We've now been back on the island for nearly two weeks. Check out our latest blog post by Skomer Fieldworker Will about the arrival. skomerisland.blogspot.com/.../five-go-....

We are back! The Skomer team landed safely back on the island today with many boxes, bags and sacks of potatoes, and were greeted by a Siskin, Hen Harrier and plenty of butterflies. We are very grateful to Amy and Anna, two of last year's long-term volunteers, for helping us with the move on.

Long-term volunteer and seabird monitoring volunteer applications for 2026 are now open! We have 4 positions available with different start dates. Please see www.welshwildlife.org/volunteering...

In the last week of March, we had a work party week, where a group of volunteers come on to help us get the island ready for the new season. Check out our latest blog post to see what we got up to: skomerisland.blogspot.com/2026/04/mud-...
