🌍🌏 Red-flanked Bluetail (Tarsiger cyanurus) The Red-flanked Bluetail is a small, shy member of the Old World flycatcher family. Males have a vibrant blue back, head, and tail, with a white throat and eyebrow, and distinctive orange-red flanks. Females and juveniles are browner with a duller blue tail and orange flanks. They breed in dense, coniferous forests across northern Asia and parts of Europe, migrating to southern and southeastern Asia for the winter. They are often seen hopping on the forest floor or low branches, flicking their tail. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) 📷: Photo by Takashi_Yanagisawa via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/bird-outdoors-wild-animals-natural-3252809/ KYPD
