Skomer Island is a National Nature Reserve, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, a world-renowned bird paradise and home to the world's largest colony of Manx Shearwaters. It is also home to author, painter and photographer Jane Matthews. In this new revised edition of the superb natural history book, Jane provides a close up of the island. Its six chapters illustrate the landscape, seasons, populations and the research that takes place throughout the year. A collection of over 100 full colour photographs, with contributions from Iolo Williams and Matthew Parris, this unique book encapsulates the beauty and magic of Skomer, an ideal gift for wildlife enthusiasts worldwide.

This second, revised, edition now contains the complete version of the poem "Bird Log" by Jeremy Grange, a section of which was accidentally omitted in the first edition.
