  • 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
8 Greenland White-fronted Geese on the crofts at Cleat and a Sandwich Tern on the beach there. 8 Pale-bellied Brents were among a hundred or so Barnacle Geese at Borve. Good numbers of Redshank were grounded around the island including a flock of 80 at Traigh Mhor, where there was also a Sandwich Tern and the usual Little Gull. The bad weather grounded unusually large numbers of Black-headed Gulls around the island including a flock of 65 at Borve.
