Shetland Sky: April 2015

http://shetlandsky.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, 12 April 2015. Continuing on from last blog this map clearly shows how much light pollution could be seen either side of Sheffield. Spring ad Summer can be frustrating times for the astrophotographer with little dark time this side of midnight. Shetland has virtually 21 hours of day light with the other 3 hours classed as simmer dim when it never gets truly dark. Shetland Storm Force photography. Darker skies mean that you can see more stars especially when the moon is not showing. There are few ...

Amazing Shetland: Aurora

http://amazingshetland.blogspot.com/2016/08/aurora.html

Tuesday, 9 August 2016. It will soon be dark enough to see the Auroras once again. Shetland is possibly the best place to see these `northern lights' or as they are called in Shetland `The Merrie dancers'. Ref: Night Gallery Number 0104. You often have to react quick as aurora can last a few minutes to several hours. The intensity can also vary from the normal green colour to the intense purples and reds which dance across the sky. Free postage is now offered when you buy a canvas from Amazing Shetland.

http://shetlandsfp.blogspot.com/2015/08/breeding-red-backed-shrikes.html

Friday, 14 August 2015. Breeding Red Backed Shrikes. The news is out that a pair of Red backed Shrikes have bred this year in Shetland. Quiet a few birds came into Shetland during the spring period and it looks like a male and female decided to stay on and breed. Already this year problems have occurred with other rare Shetland breeding birds when either over enthusiastic photographers or egg collectors have been involved. That's why I would never consider using a hide, you are just drawing attention to ...

Shetland move and experiences: August 2015

http://shetlanddream.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html

Saturday, 15 August 2015. For many people Yell is a place to drive through on the way to Unst. The road from the ferry passes the west side, virtually a straight road north. It does pass several interesting places if you have time to take a detour. Westsandwick beach is superb with parking nearby. A good place for Otters and a paddle. Yell in fact is the largest of the north isles with a population of around 900 people, most on the eastside. The normal pre wedding advertising above. This will come as goo...

http://shetlanddream.blogspot.com/2015/08/bressay.html

Sunday, 9 August 2015. Recently we have been getting around a few of the islands that we haven't visited for a few years. This weekend it was Bressay , well in fact this was the second visit of the week. He was renting land but from who, all I could see was nine deserted crofts, people left some 30 years ago. More evidence was on the beach with many rusting chains which had been used to tie up small open fishing boats many years ago. Last night was the final concert of Fiddle Frenzy and it was a superb e...
