• When here in the Outer Hebrides and looking at a bird, have you ever wondered how rare it is? The status of all species can vary enormously from island to island. How rare is Shoveler on Barra, has Stock Dove been seen on Harris, does Dotterel occur on Benbecula in the autumn, and how common is Blue Tit on North Uist? Well, fret no longer! The Status and Distribution of birds here on the Outer Hebrides has been completely updated and summarised for every species and each of the main islands and outliers.

2 juv Iceland gulls were at Ardveenish today. c80 long-tailed ducks were off Craigston and a further 20 were off West Beach, Vatersay. Also 16+ black-throated divers off Vatersay. At least 1 coal tit was still at Nasg.

An uneventful walk to the N part of Eachkamish (Baleshare), North Uist this morning. A Pied Wagtail, 14 Meadow Pipits and 6 Snow Buntings being the best. Appears to be more than usual this year of the first two wintering on North Uist.
