An entirely Shetland month - those don't come along very often.  A lot of time spent at the south end of the Shetland mainland (and nearly daily visits to Sumburgh Head to check up on the puffins and razorbills, or to Scat Ness to check up on the tysties) plus a trip to the far north (Yell & Unst).
