Shetland Wildlife
28th June 2009
I have just returned from a trip around the Sheltands. The tour was the ‘Ultimate Shetland’ organised by Shetland Wildlife.
We spent seven days on Shetland travelling from site to site observing the excellent array of flora and fauna Shetland has to offer at this time of year. The group size was pretty small (10 of us all together) and our guide David was excellent, very patient and extremely friendly and knowledgable.
We stayed in a couple of Hotels both of which were very comfortable with excellent food!
Although this wasn’t a dedicated photo hoilday (Shetland Wildlife organise those as well) as I was travelling with my partner who is not a photographer there were plenty of opportunities to get some great shots.
All in all it was a fantastic trip, well organised and a great time was had by all! Highlights for me were Storm Petrels flying in from the sea in near total darkness and the Puffins who are great characters and also extremely photogenic!
I have uploaded the first batch of photos to the birds gallery.
