Red-Flanked Bluetail in Wilts/Gloucs is now Britain's longest staying bird
The first winter Red-flanked Bluetail, discovered on the afternoon of 3rd February, as well as being a remarkable sight, has become a remarkable multiple record holder. Not only is the stunning bird the first for Wilts and South Gloucs by obligingly hopping to and fro across the border each day, but also the first UK record in February and from 16th February, it has represented Britain's longest-staying individual.
The story of John Barnett's discovery of the bird can be seen via this link.
