In 1973, HM drew BB readers' attention to the westward expansion of the Red-flanked Bluetail Tarsiger cyanurus (Mikkola 1973a,b). The changing status of this species in the rest of Europe over the same time period is discussed also. Based on this revision, the List of Birds of the Czech Republic was updated, currently including altogether 397 species in the occurrence categories A, B and C (as of 31 December 2018).ĭata are presented to illustrate the population increase and expansion in the breeding range of the Red-flanked Bluetail in Finland during the past 40 years. ![]() The character of occurrence of the respective species in the Czech Republic since the year 1800, with regard to its occurrence in the neighbouring countries, is also described. In the overview, a chronological list of accepted and rejected records (including rationale) and the international category of occurrence are given for each revised taxon. Identification as well as plausibility of the data on occurrence circumstances were assessed. Altogether 274 records were revised, many of them for the first time in the history of research of bird fauna of the Czech Republic. Purpose of this work, rare species were defined as those in which the number of occurrence records did not exceed 10. The revision was carried out by the authors of the paper in the years 2002–2019. This one below is one of the birds he spotted and photographed.Results of a systematic revision of occurrence of rare bird species in the Czech Republic, both recent and historical data (including voucher material) since the year 1800, are summarised. While in Beijing, China last spring the club’s chair Ed Drewitt spotted a number of Red-flanked Bluetails in the local parks as they were passing through on their migration to northern parts of China, Mongolia, and Siberia. ![]() More information on the Red-flanked Bluetail, known internationally as an Orange-flanked Bush-robin, can be found on the ARKive website and the Birdlife International website. The club’s very own Steve Hale has amalgamated club members’ photos of the Marshfield bluetail on his Avon Bird blog. If you would like to see the bird, follow Martyn Hayes ‘The Birds of South Gloucestershire’ website which gives more details on the bird’s location as well as photos and film of the bird. The bluetail at Marshfield was found by John Barnett whose story behind finding this super bird can be found on Bird Guides. It is possible this first-year bird has been in the UK since the autumn and has been feeding in habitats away from the eyes of birders. At this time of the year they are wintering in south-east Asia. They are a common robin/chat-like birds across Russia, Siberia, and across Asia. Some juvenile birds disperse south-west from where they hatched in Finland and north-west Russia (instead of flying south-east). ![]() It is a rare bird in the UK, although the species frequently appears on the east coast of England during the autumn migration period. In early February 2014 a Red-flanked Bluetail was discovered in Marshfield, South Gloucestershire. Red Flanked Bluetail at Marshfield by Gordon Youdale
