An AMERICAN MOURNING DOVE is present for perhaps its fourth day on North Uist (Outer Hebrides), favouring a farm track about half a mile WSW of Clachan a Luib just SW of Loch na Faoileige at Carnack (at NF 803 635). Brian Rabbitts identified the bird early afternoon and it remains present and showing well until dusk.
It represents the third record for Britain following one trapped and ringed at the Calf of Man Bird Observatory (Isle of Man) on 31st October 1989 (found dead next day and now preserved in the Manx Museum) (British Birds 86: 496; 89: 157-161; 509, plates 69-71; Birding World 3: 64; Ibis 135: 220) and a first-winter at Carinish, North Uist (Outer Hebrides) from 13th-15th November 1999 (British Birds 93: 539; plate 40; Birding World 12: 453.
A further occurrence involved a plane-assisted arrival at Heathrow Airport Cargo Depot (London) on 9th February 1998. It had arrived on a plane from Chicago, USA (Rare Birds 4: 105).
