Red-flanked Bluetail (Tarsiger cyanurus)

Until recently, the Himalayan Bluetail was treated as a subspecies of the Red-flanked Bluetail.

September was highlighted by Brown Flycatcher, Red-flanked Bluetail and Siberian Thrush.

Rare species such as Radde's Warbler, Dusky Warbler and Red-flanked Bluetail have all occurred on Lindisfarne.

Wildlife includes the Japanese Serow (Special Natural Monument), stoat, Red-flanked Bluetail, and Rhacophorus arboreus.

Rare species include Bean Goose, Common Crane, Osprey, Black-throated Diver, Great Grey Owl, and Red-flanked Bluetail.

At 13-14 cm long and 10-18 g weight, the Red-flanked Bluetail is similar in size and weight to the Common Redstart and slightly smaller (particularly with a slimmer build) than the European Robin.

The robin - usually found in the rugged mountain regions of Turkey and Armenia - had first alighted on a nearby bowling green, where local ornithologist Chris Brown misidentified it as a red-flanked bluetail from Russia.

It has separate, dedicated Photo and Movie buttons, which is more important than you might imagine; as the rare red-flanked bluetail alights on a fence post, the last thing you want to do is waste time burrowing into the menus to switch from movie mode to photo mode.

The Red-flanked Bluetail (Tarsiger cyanurus), also known as the Orange-flanked Bush-robin, is a small passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family Turdidae, but is now more generally considered to be an Old World flycatcher, Muscicapidae.
