Red-flanked Bluetail, in my patch, Halligarth next door, yesterday. Though very likely to be the Burrafirth bird from earlier in wk, was a glorious, pulse-raising moment to focus my #swarovskioptik #NLPures on those iconic flank blushes. Far from the mythical mega it once was, still top drawer Sibe.
