A Citril Finch! My answering machine message to Fair Isle Bird Observatory. June 6th 2008 about 1pm. At the time, I was the only one who had seen the bird and I had no idea how rare it was or that it was a first record for Britain. It was also the first time I said the words aloud "Citril Finch" I could barely pronounce it name. Legend! Just re-found this video tape while my wife Liz transferred all of her video to hard-drive. She over laid video of the Citril Finch as viewed from my garden on that foggy day 5 years ago above the audio message.
