This isn't what I expected to see this afternoon: a Snow Goose flying south past Allasdale on the west side of Barra! Chances are it's the closest this particular bird has ever been to North America...

Sandwich Tern heading south past Cleat this evening. We get a few on Barra in early spring and again in late summer/early autumn but don't often see one in June.

Plenty of chacking and tacking in the bushes at Nask this morning as the next generation of Common Whitethroats appears. This species continues to go from strength to strength on Barra.

Peaceful evening at Castlebay Marina. Many yachts arrived and the crews are relaxing, exchanging stories or making the short walk into town to get food or a cold pint. 🍺 #isleofbarra #sailingscotland

☀️The sun is shining! The hidden treasures in Vatersay - a must to see! Walk the coast which includes the settlement in Eorisdale and secluded beaches. Look how small & fragile an island it is! Adhere to the erosion rules! Photo: John MacDougall Visit Outer Hebrides VisitScotland

A tough 3 points in a battling game which goes to show the strength in depth of the squad once again this season with so many regulars missing 🔴⚫️

Birding highlights today included this flock of 23 Common Scoters wheeling about over the sea at Cleat before heading SW, one of the biggest flocks I've seen here. Also a Hobby going south over Eoligarry this morning, only the 5th I've seen on Barra.

🌞Summer Solstice Sunset 2025 Sunset on the islands tonight and now at 11.10pm the daylight is finally slowly beginning to fade and the birds at last must be 💤.

Beachcombing at the far end of Traigh Eais when we had a call about a Ring-billed Gull at Cleat. Cue our best "Chariots of Fire" impression as we legged it back down the beach! Luckily it was still there when we got to Cleat, our first Ring-bill out here since 2018.
