Here are a few shots of the wildlife I encountered during a two hour boat trip around Ramsey Island, located 1 km off the coast of St David’s Peninsula in Pembrokeshire, Wales. A RSPB nature reserve, it is home to ravens, peregrines, choughs and buzzards. During spring guillemots, razorbills, fulmars, kittiwakes and shags come to nest, however by the time I visited the island the cliffs were empty, leading to somewhat limited photographic opportunities .
