  • 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. Available as an online resource at https://status.outerhebrides-birdreports.org/ or via our shop

A *Buff-breasted Sandpiper* was south of the lighthouse showing well on the clifftop path around midday.

Always Birding
On the patch today there were 4 Black-tailed Godwits on Loch Hallan, South Uist, a Whimbrel at low tide on Askernish beach and a dark phase Arctic Skua patrolling the dunes

North Uist: there was much activity in the Arctic Tern colony at Aird an Runair this morning; quite a few recently fledged birds were seen. A couple of Great Skuas passed just offshore.
