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.

Called in to Steart Marshes on the way back from Scilly’s hoping for a Sabine’s Gull. I managed to re-find it on the beach and somehow managed this photo before it flew over our heads. Wow. What a stunning gull. #birds #ukbirding #birdsseenin2026 @rarebirder.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social

I was present when these photos were taken at Pendeen this week, but was alerted too late to call of a Great Shearwater. Since claimed as a Black broweed Albatross and/ or a Black capped Petrel. I Know what I think and am gutted. #Cornwallbirds #RareBirdsUK
