Scottish birder, mainly my home region of Lothian, also various Scottish islands. One of the Barra Boys, who put the island firmly on the birding map in 2002, & still continuing to do my part to this day!

Why do they always turn up whilst at work, and more importantly would i have seen it from the house?

LOTTI is the commonest here, often in decent sized flocks, followed by great (less than 10 records), then coal, and then blue!
Other oddities here are the lack of rook, carrion crowned & magpie, the latter a real mega with just 1 record!

I'm praying for a blue tit here on Barra Steve!
The islands 1st were recorded in 2002, just 2-4 birds, with another more recent record of a single bird.
We had 7 long-tailed tit recently with a single of the rarer coal tit presently on the island too!
Some tits are rarer than yank passerines on here

Nice one Colin, pretty sure it's only the 2nd Barra record!
I missed the last one after walking away from the group on Borve, so it would be great to catch up with this species again, on what's been a great year for them on the Hebs.

Stunningly gripping shots of this iconic seabird mate! Having missed them in Madeira last year, you now have me thinking!
Well done to all involved!
I bet next weeks works teams call will be fun!!!
