  • 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.

The American Golden Plover was again to be found on the fields behind the houses at North Boisdale in amongst some 300 Golden Plovers. The 2 Little Egrets were again both in evidence with one on Loch Hallan, the other at Loch na Liana Moire, Daliburgh. A Coot and a female Gadwall were on Eilean nan Ramh, Daliburgh and a new Chiffchaff was trapped and ringed here in Askernish

A ♂ Siskin was still present at Carinish, North Uist today and two Snow Buntings flew over towards Baleshare.

In the Rubh' Arnal area, North Uist the five pale-bellied Brent Geese were still present and there was a Glaucous Gull loafing with other gulls over towards Balemore.
