• 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.

At least 65 Greenfinches were at the fish dump near Rubh' Arnal, North Uist this morning. There have been good numbers present at several sites recently. The latest BTO's BirdTrends report suggests that Greenfinch could potentially be moved from the the green list to red.

On Loch nam Feithean, North Uist 15 Pintail continued their good showing there while a Fieldfare (quite scarce this winter), was near Loch Hosta.
