• 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 breezy afternoon saw 2 Pomarine Skuas, 2 Storm Petrels and several thousand Manx Shearwaters flying south past Brevig. A flock of 12 Black-tailed Godwits flew out to sea there while a Whimbrel was in the bay and a juvenile Cuckoo, likely our 14th of the season, was in the township.
