• 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

    New - now available as an ebook

About Us

Outer Hebrides Birds is a small group of enthusiastic birders here in the islands. We enjoy birding on our local patch as much as we do looking for that elusive rarity. Many of us participate in the regular and one-off local BTO surveys.

Our aim is to enhance the recording of birds in the county and bring together people with a shared interest in birds and birding here in the Outer Hebrides. All sightings will be forwarded to the County Bird Recorder

Please feel free to sign up to our website and post your own sightings and photos, ask questions and join in the discussions. Alternatively you may email your sightings and photos to us sightings@outerhebridesbirds.org.uk or telephone 01851 741250 and leave a voicemail. Thanks!

Outer Hebrides Birds relies entirely on sponsorship and individuals generosity for maintenance of this website and for the production of county bird reports. If you enjoy visiting and using the website please consider making a donation.
