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.

That's a really good number @Gordon Newman - we've also had good numbers here in Askernish, South Uist as well. When I did my Big Garden Birdwatch last weekend there were 35 down feeding in the garden. Last year i think we ringed 300+ new individuals in the garden
