  • 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.

A female or 1st summer male Golden Oriole flew over the road in front of us before dropping into a plantation at Nask at 3.10pm. No further sign of it in the following hour but a Spotted Flycatcher got up from the trees, circled several times gaining height and departed high north.
