• 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. Available as an online resource at https://status.outerhebrides-birdreports.org/ or via our shop

Barra.
2 juvenile Cuckoos were at Glen this morning still being fed by Meadow Pipits. It feels like a lot of summer visitors have already gone, certainly the majority of Sedge Warblers seem to have departed in recent days along with a lot of Willow Warblers. A Chiffchaff at Castlebay may have been a local breeder though their numbers seem down this year.
