• 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

I am still reocrding everynight at present na dit is fascinating but frustrating. I'm struggling with a fair few calls.

To help me sort them out in my head, I've posted a fair few on-line including a page of ten mystery calls. This link takes you there I hope.

Any help or comments appreciated.

There will be many of you out there far better than me at calls.

Hi Roger

Glad to hear you are still at it, my AudioMoth has not been out while it's been windy as I was getting a lot of "rustling plastic bag in the breeze" noise.

I had a quick look at your website and I would say number 1 is definitely Redshank just by looking at the sonogram. I'll have a look through the others too :) I wondered about Blackbird for number 4?

Thanks Yvonne.
I think #1 is firming up to Redhank. Not so sure about Blackbird for #4 but interested to see if there are other views.
Still fascinating but frustrating.
Pretty sure I had Little Grebe yesterday early. The link is here.
