Project Puffin, Skomer, Pembrokeshire
Passionate about wildlife and nature? These surveys and activities offer volunteers a close-up of our fauna (动物群）and flora (植物群）while helping to safeguard the environment. Plan ahead for next summer and join the "puffarazzi" with the RSPB. Between early June and late July 2020,visitors to the UK's puffin (善知鸟）colonies will be asked to take photographs of birds with fish in their bills, making a note of the date, time and location and then uploading that information to a dedicated page on the RSPB 's website. The idea is to help conservation scientist Dr Ellie Owen and her team pinpoint why puffin colonies are declining (the current thinking is that it is related to a reduction in food availability caused by climate change). The colonies include Skomer Island, in Pembrokeshire, to which the Wildlife Trust of South&West Wales runs day trips between Easter and the end of September. |
Boat fares from Martin's Haven to Skomer are ￡11 adult, ￡7 child, landing fee ￡11 adult, ￡5 child. Hostel-style overnight stay ￡30 adult, ￡15 child. Details of Project Puffin at rspb.org.uk |
