While Skomer Island in Wales often gets the headlines for its puffin colony, I’ve discovered an Irish outpost that is home to a large colony and is easier to visit.
A friend of mine has long disputed my description of puffins as “bonky”, claiming it’s both “ridiculous” and “not a word”. But I think it fits perfectly. These seabirds are both bonkers and wonky-looking, with their wobbly little walks and seeming inability to fly in a straight line.
