Shetland Nature Festival

To quote Simon King...."Shetland has a wild magic all of its own.." This week sees the sixth Shetland Nature Festival which celebrates this wild magic in many events and activities.  Visit www.shetlandnaturefestival.co.uk for details.

Besides ordnance survey maps and binoculars, ( plus a thermos and all those extra layers of clothing) we always have several bird and flower books in the car. All are available from  the Shetland Heritage Shop, and recently we added a new one entitled "British Sea Mammals"  Two of the authors live in Shetland and most of the photographs were taken around the coast of Shetland!

Need I say more? Priced at £12.95 the book is plastic covered and very user friendly in its layout and information.
