• 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.

With 27 Golden Plover on the machair at Askernish, could this be the start of autumn migration? 2 Swifts were also over Loch Hallan this afternoon

6 Black-tailed Godwits on the machair north of Barra airport this morning would point to the answer to Mr T's question as yes, autumn migration has begun! The 2cy Iceland Gull was still at Craigston, hanging around the roof tops in the township this afternoon.
