Beautiful scene in Lerwick early this morning, with sailing ships in the harbour for the Tall Ships Races 2023, and rare noctilucent clouds in the sky to the north. The two ships in the centre are Fryderyk Chopin (Polish brig) and Bima Suci (Indonesian Navy barque) behind.

Fabulous Killer Whale watching in #Shetland this afternoon, with a pod 'surfing' and jumping in the swell. The seal in the photo clinging onto the rocks for dear life I think did survive!

@RobGMacfarlane @RSPBScotland @helenmoncrieff @NatureInShet - Comments please (context / source) for the Puffin stat in this tweet and article? The disastrous Arctic Tern figure quoted in the tweet is for a count in a particular area, rather than the whole of Shetland.
