Field Notes

Habitat:

Skellig Islands in Ireland

Notes:

Skellig Michael is such an amazing island filled with history, but walking up the cliff next to Puffins the entire way was surreal. They would hop up or down the steps with you. When they thought you were too close to their nest they made a noise that sounded like a little chainsaw.
