Shetland May 2015

Spring can be a fantastic time on Shetland - the cliffs start to fill up as the nesting birds return, there are (usually) lots of migrants around and you regularly get to experience all four seasons in a day.

And of course it's always a delight to see the puffins back on this cliffs.  Hopefully this year there will be a decent breeding season, there was certainly plenty of nest building activity in early May.
