Skomer Island lies to the SW of the Marloes Peninsula in Pembrokeshire and is an inportant breeding area for puffins.
The U.K. puffin populations are in general decline which is believed to be caused by a shortage of food supplies.
The Skomer population is estimated as 6,000 breeding pairs.
Puffins only visit the coast during the breeding season and spend the rest of the time out at sea.
