Wednesday wildlife

Out and about around the Ness of Brodgar with dig director Nick Card.

Dawn. A mass takeoff of geese from the Loch of Harray.

Stonechats squabble over the Lochview standing stone.

Swan in flight.

One of the Harray cygnets starts to show a bit of independence.

Flight of mergansers.

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.
