Nov '91. Birder loses it after calling home to be told of Mugimaki Flycatcher, Humberside. (We're in The Gambia).

Y/day. Other birders on Barge race committee boat keep scrolling. 3 hrs from landing I'm having to hear about "Singing Nightingale, Riverside CP".

Ask me again why I won't own a phone🤔
