You will find out more about how the aurora is created, new auroras found, SAR arcs and STEVE. It is a hardback A4 sized book with 214 pages and over 140 photos with 26 diagrams and graphs. You wont get a more comprehensive book and it makes a great present for those interested in the aurora, night sky or Shetland.

Birds full of song

Two great singers, always a pleasure to hear then at the start of spring

The Shetland wren is with us all year round and is a very active bird seen in a variety of habitats

They often pop up when least expected and give you a loud blast.

 They Skylark on the other hand leaves Shetland in late October/ Early November and returns in February/ March and is one of the key indicators that spring is with us. Some bird might over winter is its mild

Shetland skylark numbers seem to be reasonably stable and on my breeding birds survey which i have been involved with for the past 7 years, numbers on both squares have not really been moving one way or the other.

It is great to open our front door and hear skylarks singing all around.
