Abstract

Here we report the first record of the Orange-flanked Bush-robin Tarsiger cyanurus in Serbia, the westernmost record of this species on the Balkan Peninsula. The individual aged as 2Y (in second calendar year) was ringed in Tara National Park, Western Serbia, on 7 October, 2020. The bird was caught in a mist net situated in a young open-canopy mixed forest.
