  • 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 Coot is still on Loch nam Feithean with 3 Coots. Since February they have been on SW part of the loch that is best viewed from near the cemetery. Near the RSPB visitor centre there was a flock of 10 Goldfinches while between here and Aird an Rùnair there were 4 Iceland Gulls, a Glaucous Gull and a flock of at least 28 Snow Buntings that flew towards Port Scolpaig.
