A some what fruitless and dull morning on Bardsey became what was to be one of the most exciting events of this autumn. After a few broken messages, blips of static and interference on the radio the words "citrine wagtail and boathouse" rang out on the radio, prompting all the birders on the island into a frenzy of panic, breakfast was left on the table as people rushed around madly gathering their coats, radios and optics before hurtling down the track towards the narrows where the bird has been sighted.
