Just found an absolutely stonking male Collared Flycatcher at Creachan, a species I've been dreaming of finding for years! This is the first for Barra and the third for the Outer Hebrides. #BirdingScotland #RareBirdsUK - ThreadSky

Wow, that is a beauty. Congrats. Us mainland birders can only dream of having a rarity magnet island to watch regularly.

Thanks! I know how that is. My old patch was landlocked and received little interest from other birders. I made the most of it though and found a few good birds over the years.
