• 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.

Female Hen Harrier in Leverburgh

OH Bird Recorder
Hi @Stuart McLay welcome to the website and thanks very much for adding your sighting - Harris is very underwatched so all records are much appreciated. Hen Harrier is not a common bird on Lewis and Harris but there has been a gradual increase in sightings in recent years especially at this time of year probably due to juvenile dispersal
