The delightful wee #Puffins of #Noss keeping us entertained today. @PromoteShetland
#shortearedowl wing clapping to ward off the approach of another owl. This happens when there's a dispute over territory or another owl is encroaching on a nearby nest. Captured on one of my recent #hebridesexperience workshops.
Well, today took an unexpected turn. It’s taken me 20 years to finally see this handsome chap. A HUGE thank you to Fergus of @Turus_Mara for getting us in the right place. #JohnCoe #Orca #Coll #Scotland
More bloomin’ dolphins! Can’t seem to escape them on this trip 🐬🤷🏻♂️😎😂😂😂 Also four Minkie whales seen so far during today’s trip.
A new angle on the dolphin camera on Lady Jayne. Alex was able to livestream it to his phone so our guests could watch the happenings in realtime too #Mull
Absolutely love it when your guests nail it. Well done Steve! Thanks to Furgus of @Turus_Mara for putting us in the right position. #commondolphin
Guests have arrived. Can you guess what’s for dessert tonight? 🤷🏻♂️😊😂😋
When you’re out doing a recce before your guests arrives, and this happens! #Otter No time to get the camera out 😩🦦😂
The rail replacement service from Inverness to London is about to depart. 😂😂😂👍🏻
We may have moved to a new build property but we’re getting the occasional visit from some cool wee birds. Wagtails, reed bunting and today a family of stonechats!
The #Puffins on #Noss say it with flowers! Enjoying a day on this beautiful island with my last group of guests for #Shetland2025 Sad that it’s my last few day up here 🥹 @PromoteShetland
A day for photographing #Gannets at #Hermaness #Shetland Sadly the last visit to this amazing place for me this year 😩
Heavenly day up at #Hermaness today. Gannets busting some moves and #Puffins giving it large!!! #Shetland at its best.
No less than TEN #Otters seen yesterday, many photographed. We even had two mating! Sorry for the BoC shot but I literally have no time to process pics during my #Shetland tours. Both weeks so far have been top notch. Pics to follow.
A short video from Monday morning’s rather excellent excursion with @ShetlandTours #Shetland @PromoteShetland
A successful day with the #Otters on #Shetland today. Four individuals seen, two photographed. Happy times. FYI these are both clients pics (the guide didn’t take his camera).
Good evening from Shetland. Here’s a Friday evening dose of Puffin therapy for you lovely people. Live from #SumburghHead #Shetland 😊
Lovely to be back in #Shetland Apparently there are #Orca around here?! 🤔🤷🏻♂️😂👍🏻
Last day on the #OuterHebrides An amazing month with 28 out of 30 days of sunshine, doubt that will ever happen to us again! Enjoyed a few hours with the shorties this morning before heading for the ferry. Inc this close encounter #ShortEaredOwl
