Having written short articles for Shetland Life magazine the author began to write his wartime memories of the "Shetland Bus boys". More memories came to mind and along with other stories from friends and colleagues the pages of writing grew into this interesting and often amusing account of life during the war - and some other stories.
Shetland has always been synonymous with exciting birding. The islands are nationally important for their 21 species of breeding seabirds, and other extremely rare or sporadic British breeders such as the Red-necked Phalarope and the Snowy Owl. This new avifauna analyses in depth the status of every species recorded in Shetland. Includes 40 pages of colour photos plus line drawings, maps and tables.
