Would be a pretty bad slice of luck to be driving away from Cornwall when the Scrub Robin turned up, still, glad many of you could connect. #scrubrobin

Stiffkey's Rufous-tailed scrub robin, in the field margins till the tide started dropping back. Wow.

Wow, what a great couple of days in Norfolk! Great views of the Rufous-tailed Scrub Robin this morning and wonderful to see it flick its long red tail! Then escaping the growing crowds to see a Pallas's Warbler in Stiffkey Woods.

A couple more photos of the amazing Rufous-tailed Scrub Robin from Treleaver on Monday.

Great day in North Norfolk - after a brief wait the Rufous-tailed Scrub Robin performed well. Also, nice views of the presumed Stejneger’s Stonechat at Holkham. Supporting cast of R F Bluetail and 3 YB Warblers.

What a bird!!! Rufous-tailed Scrub Robin showed unbelievably well nr Coverack this evening. Anybody going tomorrow don’t take the SW coastal path from Coverack unless you’re in training for the marines. There is a much easier, quicker route up. But worth it in the end. #birding

Rufous-tailed Scrub Robin at Treleaver this morning. One of the most obliging rarities I've ever seen!

Cornwall Rufous-tailed Scrub Robin DNA is 2% different cf. previous bushchat DNAs (= a lot!) (= 'unknown specimen'). But others are from Israel/further S/E. Suggests Cornwall bird is from unsampled nominate African/Iberian population & poss future split. Pic Dougy Wright

Think this may have made the trip tbh @BirdGuides @RareBirdAlertUK @CBWPS1 @LiamLangley1

[Matt Doyle @elyod95]

Great trip to Cornwall, obvious highlight in the Rufous Bushchat but other goodies like seawatch Glossy Ibis, SpotShank, Ruff, Whimbrels, Arctic Skua, Bonxie, Storm Petrel, and a host of Shearwaters made for an exciting weekend! I do miss living there...@CBWPS1

What a start to @BirdingIchos trip to Cornwall, with this absolutely stunning Rufus Bush-chat, showing to with in 5m of us yesterday evening! What a stunner! Here’s to more birds for the rest of the week!

[Isaac West @isaacwestbirder]

Got back from our @BirdingIchos trip to Cornwall a couple of days ago. On day 1 (23/8), we dropped in on the Rufous-tailed Scrub Robin on the way down. Showed ridiculously well. Not something we were expecting to get when we planned the trip...
