| Re: Shetland II - seabird cliffs etc
Great pics in both this thread and the first one.
Brings back good memories for me. I worked on Unst for 18 months in the mid 90's and even though I was not into nature watching like I am today you couldn't help but notice the Great Skaus (called Bonxies on Unst) the Puffins and the seabirds that used to mob you when you went out for a run.
I also remember seeing a shetty ponie giving birth whilst out for a run. I remember that when we went body boarding the seals would at times ride the waves next to you perform a twist or turn and look at you as if to see match that!
Had to stop body boarding for a while due to a pod of Orca circling the island.
A great place to live even in the winter (the locals used to say if you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes). I would love to go back again with my interest in wildlife (not drinking and sport!)
Thanks for bringing back the memories.
