• 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

Brambling at Cuithir, Woodcock and Grey Wagtail at Castlebay. A 2 hour seawatch from Brevig this afternoon produced a Little Auk, 2 Pom Skuas, 17 Sooty Shearwaters, 1 Manx Shearwater and c1000 Kittiwakes all going south. There were also large numbers of Kittiwakes sheltering in the Sound of Barra this morning including c200 roosting on the beach at Traigh Mhor.
