Curlew over Brodgar.
Hare on the look out.
Hare head on.
Hare bounds away.
Reed bunting.
Oystercatchers doing what comes naturally.

Please note: The fieldwork element of the Ness of Brodgar project ended in August 2024 and the excavation site is now closed to the public. Our focus is now on post-excavation analysis and publication.

However, we will be back on site for a final, limited period in July 2026.
