  • 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.

Barra
A mixed flock of c80 Greenland White-fronts and c20 Greylags flew NW over Northbay at 8.15 this morning. Several more flocks of Whooper Swans passed through during the day including a flock of c100 through the Sound of Barra late afternoon. Our first migrant Chiffchaff of the season was at Northbay and a Jackdaw flew high south there. A Snow Bunting and the Little Gull were at Traigh Mhor this evening and a Water Rail was at Cuithir.
