This is a personal look at the wildlife population of the Shetland Islands through the lens of a photographer who has lived there all his life. The author's photographic work has featured in many naturalist magazines and has won him various awards. He was also chosen as European naturalist in the five continent series of "Great Naturalists" in Julian Pettifur's "Naturewatch" series. A life-long resident of the Islands, he retired as RSPB representative in Shetland in 1985 so that he could spend the rest of his active years studying and photographing the natural environment there.
