docholiday Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Reckon you probably didn't take any pic's of the mixie bunnies though!! to my knowledge no Mixie on the sland, large numbers of brown, black and mixed colours, without the rabbit warrens the Manx shearwater and puffins would have no where to nest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown Sauce Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 to my knowledge no Mixie on the sland, large numbers of brown, black and mixed colours, without the rabbit warrens the Manx shearwater and puffins would have no where to nest Could be so, the last time we went to Skomer was about 4 years ago and good old tinternet has come up with the last outbreak being 2007. Just have memories of black backed gulls hammering the deceased bunnies, not a pretty site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Mike Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Great pictures. One of the few Owls which is Diurnal and infact some may be suprised to know its not a native species having been introduced to Britain in the mid to late 1800's.
