Summary

Summary

This wildlife holiday offers an introduction to Pembrokeshire’s special natural history, at its best in early summer. It includes visits to spectacular seabird colonies, a rich marine-life and an abundance of wild flowers. Weather permitting, we’ll land on Skomer which at this time of year accommodates over half a million seabirds, including Manx Shearwaters, Guillemots, Razorbills and Puffins galore – the latter only an arm’s length away! Offshore, dolphins and porpoises are regularly seen, while on the mainland we’ll search for some of Pembrokeshire’s other natural history delights including a variety of orchids, as well as rare butterflies and dragonflies.

  • Spectacular seabird colonies on Skomer & Puffins galore
  • Harbour Porpoise & Common, Bottlenose & Risso’s Dolphins all possible
  • Silver-studded Blue, Marsh Fritillary & up to 20 species of dragonfly
  • Numerous limestone flowers, including Lesser Butterfly and other orchids
  • Comfortable hotel based near Milford Haven 
  • Expertly escorted by a Naturetrek naturalist

By June, the remote south-western tip of Wales is teeming with a rich diversity of wildlife from the mainland out to its famous Atlantic islands. The islands of Ramsey, Grassholm and Skomer are transformed during the early summer by the arrival of vast numbers of nesting seabirds: Grassholm is home to 30,000 pairs of Gannets; Skomer, pink-tinged with swathes of Red Campion, accommodates over half a million seabirds, including large numbers of Puffins. Pembrokeshire is well known for its populations of cetaceans, while Grey Seals and Choughs can be seen in many coastal areas. As well as enjoying the area's impressive marine fauna, we'll also take time to explore some of the peninsula's terrestrial habitats from our base in the village of Burton near Milford Haven.
