In this revised edition the author has included the full and unedited version of the poem ‘Bird Log’ by Jeremy Grange.

Skomer is a National Nature Reserve, a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a world-renowned bird paradise. This superb natural history book by Skomer resident Jane Matthews illustrates the landscape, seasons, flora and fauna in over 150 photographs.

Skomer Island lies less than a mile off shore from the Marloes Peninsula in Pembrokeshire, yet it is this short span of water that sets the island a world apart from its neighbours. Free from all land-based predators, Skomer has evolved as its own bustling ecosystem in a unique and spectacular landscape. It is a National Nature Reserve, a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a world-renowned bird paradise.

Skomer includes:
•Birds, flora, fauna and landscapes
•Seasonal timeline
•Map of the island
•Contributions from Iolo Williams and Matthew Parris
•Bird Log poem by Jeremy Grange
