  • 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 maximum of 6 Waxwings seen together in the garden here at Askernish today, which is interesting because we have ringed 7 so far including a colour ringed individual. The female Blackcap is also enjoying the apples when given a chance. The image is from yesterday taken by Yvonne as you can never have too many of these wonderful birds
