  • 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.

There were a pair of Garganey flying around over Eoligarry briefly this afternoon before heading off high east. A flock of 180 Pink-footed Geese flew north over Morghan this morning with a further 80 north over Northbay this evening, followed a few minutes later by 8 Whooper Swans. My first Corncrake of the year was heard at the north end of the island.
