Hello everybody,
I am planning to visit Shetland islands this summer for 1 week. Focus is mainly on seabird colonies ('mainly' but not 'only' ).
I would be happy if anyone can answer to these questions:
1 - Which is the best period to visit the Islands to see the various species of Auks, Bonxies, Gannets etc?
2 - I was thinking to rent a room in Lerwick for all the week: having a car, is it possible to reach Yell, Unst, Fetlar and the other islands in one-day trips? (excluded Fair Isle, surely too far) Or is it better booking for some days in Mainland and for some others somewhere else?
Any other suggestion is welcome!
Thanks everybody!
Sebastiano
