    The photo of Duncan Steel on page 5 is listed as being with a seal lion. While the island is called Sea Lion island, that is an elephant seal (most likely southern) in the picture used which is stated incorrectly in the description. I did love the article on the plastic problems throughout Shetland. Also, the Tammy nories facing feeding issues due to changing temperatures is similar to Ibexs with grass reaching its peak growth sooner, causing insufficient food for new young.
