Great start of the season watching #GreatSkua settling down for another breeding season on #Mingulay #NTSeabirds @N_T_S
Luck certainly smiled on me today. Whilst waiting for people to come off a bus at work a European Bee-eater flew just in front of me and calling. I managed to check the area around work every few minutes and was rewarded with far better but distant views. Phonescope pic in heat
💥 BEE EATER 💥 heard on #Mingulay @HebridesBirds
Just had a Bee-eater fly north over Cobhair Bharraigh in Castlebay
Snipe. South Uist. #wildlifephotography #ukwildlifeimages #olympusphotography #omsystem @OMSYSTEMcameras @ElyPhotographic #birdphotography #bird
Good to be back on #Mingulay. Loads of seabirds and some decent birds :-)
A small number of Whimbrel have been passing by the Carinish shore recently. Photo BR @HebridesBirds
The Green Sandpiper was still present yesterday, but among the many common migrants, bird of the day was undoubtedly the Waxwing reported by Xavier of the @SoaySheep Project last night! (Record shot through bins- excellent work by Xavier and Rebecca!) @HebridesBirds @BirdGuides
First 30 min at #Barra has produced 2 willow warblers, cuckoo calling and a bramble. @HebridesBirds
Only the fourth spring record for Green Sandpiper on #StKilda on 28th April over in Gleann Mor. Also only the second April record for the Outer Hebrides! @HebridesBirds @BirdGuides
Our first Brambling of the year bringing a splash of colour to the treetops in Castlebay on this wet Monday afternoon. It was even giving a few bursts of song, though it's fair to say Bramblings aren't highly accomplished vocalists!
I don’t think there is much I can add about Black-tailed Godwit that hasn’t already been written on here. Brilliant birds. This obliging bird was at Cleat this morning before the rain started. Also finally caught up with Little Tern for the year #barrabirders
I’m so used to seeing black-tailed godwits, it was lovely to see a couple of bar-tailed on the beach today
Lost track of the number of puffins flying past the Butt of Lewis today. Would be well into the thousands. A fair way out as this rather blurred photo of one that actually landed shows 😁 Handa island will be busy with them now
A noisy flock of Pink-footed Geese heading north over Barra this morning. Next stop Iceland.
Great Northern Divers are looking fabulous now as they moult into breeding plumage. This one was close in at Brevig just now, a further 45 visible more distantly. Also today, up to 3 Minke Whales offshore plus 10 Common Dolphins and 2 Porpoise.
Loch Stiapabhat Carrion Crow
A rare bird for a wee archipelago out in the Atlantic! A very skulky Moorhen was picked up this morning by the eagle eye of the @N_T_S Ops Manager Will Boyd-Wallis this morning in front of the Manse. 18th record for #StKilda - Great find Will! 🙂🔥 @HebridesBirds @BirdGuides
Really pleased to see this black kite perched up in South Dell this evening. Huge thanks to the finders for the fast news and updates. Need my dinner and a warm up in front of the fire now 🥶

We were delighted to discover our first Sea Coconut yesterday, a sea bean we never really expected to find here. So we were utterly shocked to stumble upon another on Vatersay this evening! It seemed so improbable we had to sit down for a few minutes while realisation sank in.
Popped over to Cleat to check out a report of a dead seabird on the beach and accidentally found a freshly arrived Sea Coconut aka Golf-ball Bean from the American tropics, a new sea bean species for us and one we never realistically expected to find on Barra.
Our first Brambling of the year bringing a splash of colour to the treetops in Castlebay on this wet Monday afternoon. It was even giving a few bursts of song, though it's fair to say Bramblings aren't highly accomplished vocalists!
