• 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 glaucous gull flew past the house this morning and the roaming flock of golden plovers dropped in this afternoon, about 45 mixed with 20+ lapwings. Some lapwings are getting territorial, chasing off some turnstones that arrived with the plovers.
