Red-flanked Bluetail
Marshfield, Gloucestershirebr/br/The first record of wintering bird in Britain and a very long way from its normal South East Asia winter range. It is a first winter bird and almost certainly a male as the upperparts are beginning to show a bluish cast. br/br/Every sort of weather today, beginning with heavy frost and ice followed by fog, rain showers and a few sunny intervals. Light levels were were really too low for satisfactory photography.
