Two minutes of aerial footage from what was an incredible all-day encounter with the 27s #Orca pod here in #Shetland last week. Wonderful to watch, film and photograph. @Seasaver @TheOrcaProject @Britnatureguide @kasmunro @whalesorg @PromoteShetland @kazcustard @BDMLROrcaAware

No. 9 in our Top 10 highlights of wildlife seen on our 2025 tours - Dotterels. We enjoyed absolutely incredible views of these two migrants at Stenness in May. Very small numbers pass through Shetland every spring so it was an absolute joy to watch this pair.

Why guess when you can know?

You know what I’m loving? Seeing the meltdown from the hunting community. These people have had it all their way for so long. Cannot wait for their pastime to be consigned to the history books for good. Tick tock!

Stand up for gannets. Let’s stop the Guga Hunt together.

In the run up to 2026 we'll be featuring our Top 10 highlights of wildlife seen on our 2025 Shetland tours. To kick off, here's No.10 - a magnificent summer plumaged Red-necked Grebe at Wadbister. Far from annual here with most records in winter and only one previous June record!

Sleigh the season with the most personal gift around. Get them a Cameo video!

Here in the south of Shetland today, the sun rose at 0907 and set at 1500 giving us 5 hours and 53 minutes of daylight. At the summer solstice we'll get nearly 19 hours of daylight. Here's 30 seconds of our #WinterSolstice day enjoying the sight and sounds of Atlantic swells at

Lovely to receive a copy of Dutch Birding today with my Blackpoll Warbler and Siberian thrush in print. A top quality publication, thank you!

On bbc Scotland discussing the humpbacks at #Ullapool and the hopefull signs of recovery in the Wester Ross Marine Protected Area. Sadly time constraints saw the bits about entanglement risks and the need for greater investment in weighted ropes cut. #WesterRossMPA #Whales 🐳🤞

If you turn up go to watch a Boxing Day hunt parade you are directly responsible for facilitating fox hunting.

'Our' female King Eider was still present in Quendale Bay, Shetland today and gave some nice views in the low winter sunshine. She saved the best until late afternoon with this royal flypast...

Nice to find a female King Eider just down the road from home in Quendale Bay, Shetland this afternoon. Here's a short video of her keeping company with a female Long-tailed Duck. @RareBirdAlertUK @ScottishBirding @BirdTrack @mcsuk @ShetlandWild @Britnatureguide @Shetnews

Four years ago today, Freya the wandering Walrus arrived here in Shetland for a four week stay. 248 days later, she was MURDERED by the Directorate of Fisheries in Norway as she was perceived to be a "continued threat to human safety". Abhorrent and unforgivable on every level.

Bull '34' from the '27s' Northern Isles Community Orca pod surfacing just a few metres away from us as we stood on a Shetland shoreline in total awe. The nicks, notches, indentations and scars on the dorsal fin and grey 'saddle' allow us to identify individuals on an evolving

A short video from our encounter with some of the '27s' Orcas as they headed north out of Vidlin Voe, Shetland on Friday. Includes a few cameo appearances from the 14-month-old calf - the latest addition to the pod. @Seasaver @whalesorg @mcsuk @Mammal_Society @NLFerries

Orcas past my Shorewatch site this morning. Doesn’t get much better than this #IsleOfLewis #CetaceansUK Think it’s the 12s pod @HughHarrop ?

Officers are seeking information from the public after a robin was found dead in a glue trap in the Henderson Row area of Plantation, Fort William. Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting incident 1694 of 22 November, 2025.

I've been blown away by the response to Wild Roman. And I've also seen a lot of people weighing in on this being a bad move relative to other things I could have done... I welcome the pushback, but here's why they're all wrong: This was not a financial play (nor was that the

ORCAS!!! We enjoyed absolutely brilliant views of the 27s pod today out in the very windy east Mainland of Shetland. Here's bull '34' photographed just off the breakwater at Laxo this afternoon with the low winter sunshine illuminating his massive dorsal fin.

Kingfisher illuminating Loch of Clickimin, Shetland today with its dazzling colours. Kingfishers are very rare birds here in Shetland with less than 30 records. This one has been in the area since 22nd October 2025 but it can disappear for days on end.
