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 the calmer weather, it was our first real opportunity to mist net today. Judging by the number of juvenile Willow Warbler, Sedge Warbler, Blackbird, Song Thrush, Greenfinch, Wren and House Sparrows, it would appear to be a better than average breeding season. The presence of a juvenile Robin and Dunnock here at Askernish at this time of year is a rare event as these birds do not normally appear until much later.
