• 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

OH Bird Recorder
Equipment: Just an Audiomoth and it's built in mic - put it in a ziplock bag and out in the garden here in Askernish. Sound files then run through Audacity to produce the sonograms.

Surprising amount of activity at 4am!
