	Skokholm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Skokholm, view from main pembrokeshire coas, Wales, UK Skokholm is an uninhabited island off south west Pembrokeshire in Wales, lying south of Skomer.
		This island was made famous by R M Lockley, a pioneering ornithologist, especially famous for his work on puffins and shearwaters, who wrote many books featuring this island, where he lived and researched for many years.
		The island was bought for £300 in 1646 by William Philipps, a barrister and it was kept in the family for the next 360 years until his descendant Mrs Osra Lloyd-Philipps (1920 - 24 March 2005) of Dale Castle died.

		The houses on the island were restored by Ronald Lockley using the wood from the wreckage of the Alice Williams.
		Some 'traditions' of the island have been upheld over the years, such as the gatherings in the evenings where the lighting is by the mellow, yellow of Tilley lamps hung from the beams.
		The water between the mainland and the islands was often treacherous and the boats carrying supplies to the island and produce to the mainland often found the waters difficult to negotiate.

	SURVIVAL AND AGE AT FIRST BREEDING IN THE RAZORBILL (ALCA TORDA)
		Observations of banded birds on Skokholm were made during daily visits to the cliffs between mid-March and mid-August (1971-73), and the work was continued by the staff of the Bird Observatory in 1974.
		Studies of attendance at breeding colonies throughout the season in the Razorbill on Skokholm (Lloyd, 1973; Lloyd, 1976a) and elsewhere (Lloyd, 1975b) have shown that the number of birds in a colony increases gradually to a peak in the nestling period.
		Our findings suggest, however, that the Skokholm Razorbills may be barely able to maintain their numbers and that they may not have the reproductive capacity to increase once numbers have been reduced as a result of a sudden temporary in- crease in adult mortality or decrease in breeding success.

	Skokholm Island
		SKOKHOLM is an island where, while you're watching the wildlife, the wildlife is watching you.
		It's reassuring that, in essence, the island hasn't changed, although the feral goats and the lighthouse keepers have long since gone.
		Visitor numbers are up, but, surprisingly, the island isn't now open to visitors until after the Easter holidays, so this was the nearest date I could book to Easter.

	The Rocks of Skokholm Island
		The north and south coasts of the island are strikingly different because of the tilt of the strata.
		On other coastlines limestone or chalk cliffs may form a subtle monochrome backdrop but, on this island, the Devonian desert sandstone is red, spattered with orange-yellow lichen.
		Although shearwater wings and the remains or rabbits are scattered around the island, there is a lack of human litter; the bottles, cans and crisp packets, the builder's rubble and old tyres, that you'd expect to find in any beautiful stretch of countryside on the mainland, are missing.
