• 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 juvenile glaucous gull and a second winter Iceland gull were both new in at Ardveenish today. A single fieldfare was at Creachan.

A male American Wigeon was at Ardheisker, North Uist in the early afternoon. Ardheisker is on the main road near the W end of the Committee Road. Although there was a bit of chestnut at certain angles behind eye, axillaries appeared white when it briefly flapped wings and there was a distinct black line around base of bill.
