Wednesday wildlife – watching you watching me

Wednesday, December 8, 2021 (9:30 AM)

Our weekly selection of photographs from site director Nick Card.

A festive sight! Robin on a branch.

Basking on its favourite rock.

Common seal keeping an eye on the photographer.

Short-eared owl watching and waiting.

Flock of golden plovers over the Ring of Brodgar.

Goldfinches.

After a vigorous preen, a good stretch.

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.
