Bit of a misleading title as in this post, haven't even got to Shetland yet!! We are here now and after a couple of glorious days, it is raining!! Had to at some point! However every cloud etc so have been able to sort out a few pics and do a quick 
Blog post! This post covers our journey north a trip so epic that Frodo decided to give it a miss as to arduous!!!
We broke our Journey in Dundee, on the first day we visited Leighton Moss and on the second day Seaton cliffs, both because I'd heard of them and not been to either before, we had good weather both days and both visits were very enjoyable, would definitely need more time at Leighton Moss and an earlier start would probably been more productive, however we had good views of Swifts and nice to hear a Bittern booming!! Marsh Harriers were seen as well. Seaton Cliffs were Spectacular in themselves, add lot's of Seabirds and another great visit was had!! Bit of Seawatching off the ferry was good as well, 3 large flocks of Arctic Terns the highlight though fairly distant, a quick glimpse of unidentified Dolphin/Porpoise was good as well!!
A fuller report and probably too many pictures on the blog at the link below
Hopefully the weather will improve and I will have less time for Blog Posts although spoiler alert the first 2 days in Shetland have been pretty awesome, to my standard anyway, so more posts to follow!
