  • 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.

Good to find a Wood Sandpiper at the south-west corner of Loch Bee this morning (first July record for South Uist).
Also on the loch were good numbers of Mute Swans, I counted c400 though a couple of days ago John Love had counted over 600! A total of five Whooper Swans were there. A few waders around with 35 Dunlin and 30+ Redshank, I was surprised to see 75 Golden Plover - were they coming or going I wonder?

The Little Gull was still with Black-headed Gulls on Loch an t-Saile.
