Peek-a-boo...I have so many #puffin pics from my 5th visit to #SkomerIsland earlier this month, but this is one of my faves ❤️ See alt text for info about visiting #Skomer.

#StunDay #thephotohour #puffins #nature #birds #naturephotography #photography #pembrokeshire #birdwatching #birdinguk #wales

This is a close-up photo of one of over 40,000 puffins peeping out of its burrow on Skomer Island, Pembrokeshire, Wales in May 2025. Puffins typically arrive on Skomer in late April to establish their breeding grounds and the first ones begin to leave around mid-July, with the last usually leaving by the end of the month. See https://www.pembrokeshire-islands.co.uk/boat-trips/ for information about trips to Skomer, and you need to book months in advance if you want to land on the island. Booking usually opens in December.

#StandingStoneSunday
A different view of the Stones of Stenness and the Watch Stone. From the Ness of Brodgar, you can see the interconnectedness of the #Orkney #Neolithic sites. Out of shot to the left are Maeshowe and Barnhouse village, the Ring of Brodgar directly behind, Unstan tomb to the R.

A landscape showing water from Stenness Loch, a causeway with a huge monolith, the Watch Stone at its end. Three huge monoliths to the right of this are what remains of the stone circle of Stenness, and hills behind.
