A short video of the nursery pod of Bottlenose Dolphins in Vidlin Voe, Shetland yesterday. Check out some of those tiny calves! Only the fourth confirmed record of this species in Shetland waters.

Our Inklines long squint cape is now available to pre-order.
This unusual, wearable design is typical of Niela's approach to knitwear.
Katie wears the cape in 'moonlight'. A selection of greys (plus a sunny yellow) are available to pre-order.

An extraordinarily evocative depiction incised on slate, possibly of a Viking Age farmer, from Jarlshof. And if the bird on the right is a domestic fowl - as is usually said - it would be one of the earliest on Shetland.

So many interesting and beautiful birds pass through our village at migration times.
A gorgeous male 'Northern' Bullfinch at Hoswick, Shetland this afternoon. A scarce but classic late autumn migrant for us at 60° North.

Other birds on Yell today included a surprise Great White Egret an expected Jack Snipe and a very pale Redpoll, doesn’t look like an Arctic to me. Another Moorhen today along with large numbers of thrushes kept the interest up. #shetlandbirding
