This popped up: I love this bird.
A migrant male eastern samamisicus redstart at Lake Langano Ethiopia / due later in Serbia or across the Drina in Bosnia or in a linden behind the beach hut that Chekhov had at Gurzuf in the Crimea. Heartbeat of my Greenery:

Am still keen to hear from more patch birders, particularly those from less well represented groups e.g. female, age <40 etc. Am also looking for people fairly new to patch birding. If you're interested, get in touch either via DM or through the contact form on the website.
