• 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

The Surf Scoter was still off Allasdale, relatively close in for once. At least 1 Siberian Chiffchaff and 2 Common Chiffchaffs were still around the football pitch at Castlebay. A Woodcock collided with a window at Morghan, but despite being dazed for a few moments, didn't seem any the worse for its encounter and flew off strongly when released soon after.
