Inspired by a recent painting trip to the tiny Pembrokeshire island of Skoholm. Designated a SSSI, its delicate ecosystem is both precarious and precious.   

Despite being only 260 acres in size, Skokholm houses 15% of the world population of Manx shearwater and 20% of European storm petrels, not to mention many thousands of puffins, razorbills and guillemots, gulls, oystercatchers, skylarks, wheatears and chough.

Passage migrants, include chiffchaffs, willow warblers, whitethroats, redstarts and flycatchers.  Atop the ancient red sandstone cliffs you'll find nationally scarce lichens and unique fungi. Carpets of flowers adorn the sub-maritime grassland, heath and salt marsh habitats.
