I am thinking of going to Shetland next year on holiday. To see the seabirds and hopefully an otter.
However I will be going with a 2 year old, is this a bad idea? |

You can drive right up to Sumburgh Head RSPB reserve, where you can see puffins, guillemots, shags, fulmars, great skuas and more at close quarters. Very close with the puffins! There is an excellent boat trip to Noss where you get fantastic views (and smells  ) of gannet and guillemot colonies.
There's a very good chance of seeing otters at a couple of the inter-island ferry terminals.

Hi John
A big welcome to you.
Would love to see killer whales - I took the ferry from Bar Harbour Maine to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia and back, a famous whale watching route in the hope of seeing them, both times it was so foggy it was a miracle we sailed. That's a risk you take out there, foggiest place on the planet. |

And a late but warm welcome from me
I have just been looking at your Gallery pictures. They're all enjoyable - but the otter with the octopus is a cracking shot!
'Looking forward to seeing some more 
Enjoy WAB.
