Wednesday wildlife – Stenness shots

Wednesday, February 23, 2022 (8:00 AM)

This week’s selection of images from Ness of Brodgar dig director Nick Card.

Low flying swan.
We have life off - a heron on the Stenness loch.
Scratch, yawn and stretch after devouring another flatfish.
Short-eared owl disappears over the loch.
Spot me if you can on a rough Loch of Stenness.
Territorial dispute.
Stenness otter.
