The news of the Red-flanked Bluetail was relayed to one Obs member staying on St Agnes (Isles of Scilly) who passed on his hearty congratulations to the team on the island. Soonafter a phonecall was received on Hilbre directly from Fair Isle where a previous Hilbre warden was staying for a birdwatching holiday ... he also passed on his congratulations, although he noted the irony of him being on Fair Isle whilst a Red-flanked Bluetail graced the tiny tidal island of Hilbre.
There is a video clip of the bird here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEBIvVY3Ky4
