  • 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.

A male Ring Ouzel was at Glen this morning. Single House Martins were at Creachan and Nask. A big influx of Whimbrel included a loose flock of 100 around Borve and Allasdale. A flock of 13 Whooper Swans flew north past Borve, roughly 2 miles offshore.
