  • 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.

Only some 3 Iceland Gulls and a single Glaucous Gull were in evidence at Rubh' Arnal this morning. There were, however, 95 pale-breasted Brent Geese present - the highest number of the winter. Of these a very high percentage were 1st-winter birds.
