• 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 Rose-coloured Starling was still on the machair at Borve, Barra this afternoon. Also 2 Whimbrel on the beach at Cleat. The 3 juvenile Blackcaps at Creachan seem to be doing well.

The Glaucous Gull was again noted at Aird an Runair, North Uist this morning - asleep for my entire visit.
