The main doorway from the replica Norse longhouse at Haroldswick on Unst in Shetland. The island has the remains of at least 60 medieval Norse longhouses, many still un-excavated. 📸 My own. #AdoorableThursday #Unst #Shetland

Bordastubble Standing Stone - located on the south west side of the island of Unst, Shetland. The stone is probably the largest of Shetland’s standing stones. 📸 My own. #StandingStoneSunday #Archaeology #Unst #Shetland

2 buff-breasted sandpiper at Lund #Unst this morning #rarebirdsuk Hopefully there'll be an upland sandpiper there tomorrow 🤞 A few days I saw my first buff-breasted in 34 years ago and now I've doubled that.

A few stolen moments off this week at home in #Shetland and a chance to make my annual pilgrimage to Unst where, on the Keen of Hamar's serpentine debris, there were jewels to be found - one of the best years I've know for endemic Edmonston's Chickweed.

Couldn't resist posting another of the Savannah Sparrow from Unst today. I believe it's only the 4th British record! #YellBirding #Shetland #RareBirdAlertUk #Birdguides

A 'flying' visit Unst saw me jam into the most accommodating Hobby ever!.... Still a scarce bird in Shetland, and the first I've seen in the 20 years I've lived here. Many thanks to the Unst birders for getting the news out..... 😎👍 #YellBirding #Shetland #JammyBugger

Savannah Sparrow showing very well at Skaw on Unst to a 'crowd' of 3 appreciative birders. Another amazing find by Dave Cooper. #YellBirding #RareBirdsUK #Shetland #Birdguides
