And now summer home to the dedicated @rspbcymru.bsky.social wardens who monitor and protect one of the most important #seabird colonies in Wales, including the UK's largest Arctic Tern population and a growing population of Puffins.
The Skerries lighthouse, located 1.9 miles off the NW coast of Anglesey, was first lit #onthisday in 1717, warning ships of the rocks and guiding them to Liverpool port. Its story is told in my new book Lighthouses of Wales. lighthouses.wales/lighthouses-...

Day one of the #30DayMapChallenge - Points. These maps show lighthouses of the British Isles, the Aegean Sea and Italy. I have tried to simulate how they would shine and cast light out to sea.

Thanks to Italiks magazine for giving space to one of my artworks in their latest issue. The image is of #southstacklighthouse @rspbcymru.bsky.social @angleseyhistory.bsky.social on #Anglesey, which really is something to see, even without the fanciful aurora.
