Efforts to remove invasive stoats from Orkney have given a boost to the islands' native voles and birds of prey, according to a new report.

The Orkney Native Wildlife Project report shows vole activity in spring 2025 was the highest since 2019 when a project to protect native wildlife from not-native stoats began.

It also revealed the number of breeding attempts by rare hen harriers and short-eared owls - which rely on the voles as a food source - were high compared with six years ago.
