16 years ago today I visited Skomer Island for the first time aged 11; after nearly two years of being into birds this was a massive moment in me being captivated by wildlife getting amazing views of one of my favoruite birds the Puffin. These photos from subsequent visits there. #Birds #UKWildlife
