Loch of Funzie exhortation A bird watcher was incensed having seen a Fetlar islander go fishing in his waders for trout in this section of Loch of Funzie. And despite the notice!! All for the protection of red-necked phalaropes, a bird uncommon in the UK but not so worldwide.

Line of planticrubs Anyone familiar with the landscape of northern England or Scotland will assume first of all that these are drystone sheep fanks but actually they are planticrubs, probably unique to Shetland. This was the only place I saw a whole row of them. Planticrubs were built to shelter kale seedlings from the wind so serve as primitive greenhouses.
