0:01:09 > 0:01:12Oh, I didn't expect to see you out here.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14I'm looking for something very rare.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19In fact, it's so rare, I shouldn't even be talking about it.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20HE GRUNTS
0:01:20 > 0:01:24I plan on being the first person ever to get it on film.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27What's the rarest thing you've ever seen?
0:01:28 > 0:01:32This doughnut. See? It has no hole!
0:01:32 > 0:01:35I found it years ago in a diner in Tuscaloosa.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Buster, that's just a roll.- It is?

0:03:37 > 0:03:38Mr Ratburn.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- What are you doing here? - Bird-watching.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43It's been a pastime since I was a child.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48- Me too!- You know, I once saw a bald eagle on this very spot!
0:03:48 > 0:03:50September 22nd, 1998.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52It's here on my life list.

0:03:57 > 0:03:58RATBURN GASPS
0:03:58 > 0:04:03I believe that's a Bohemian waxwing. Very odd for this time of year.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- Where you looking for a particular bird?- Actually...
0:04:07 > 0:04:09I was looking for...
0:04:11 > 0:04:15I would have liked to share this with my student, Alan Powers.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Without him, I wouldn't have looked for the grebe.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22But since they can't cut it in half...
0:04:22 > 0:04:26I guess I'll have to keep the whole thing myself! Woo-hoo!
0:04:26 > 0:04:28APPLAUSE
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Yes, Alan? You were saying?
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Oh, yes, I was looking for a... goldfinch.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Ah, Carduelis tristis.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Not rare in these parts - beautiful nonetheless.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Goldfinches tend to thrive around weeds. Follow me.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51Ha-ha! A bird-watching club? Who'd wanna join that?
0:04:51 > 0:04:55I don't know, it could be fun! Don't you hunt for butterflies?
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Butterflies are different. It's OK to like them - they're bugs.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02It says there'll be trips into the forest.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Oh! That's where Skunkamunka is supposed to live.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09The giant orange ape-man with the terrible odour?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12He was in that episode of Monster Mysteries.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15He's only ever been caught on tape once.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20TV: 'It's Skunkamunka! And the smell is unbearable. Oh!'
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Some people think he's the missing link!
0:05:23 > 0:05:28The missing link between a bad show and people who'll believe anything.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Say what you want, Brain, I think he's real.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- A bird-watching club? And you're both in it?- Uh-huh.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Mr Ratburn just posted it.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42I always thought I'd win for finding Skunkamunka.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Instead, it was for the green-tailed grub.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Grebe! It's called the green-tailed grebe, you simpleton!
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Er...what he said.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54APPLAUSE
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- Are you going to join too? - Of course.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59But...I really don't think you guys should.
0:05:59 > 0:06:04There's snakes and bugs and wild animals in those woods.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05There are? I'm there!
0:06:07 > 0:06:08BRAIN SIGHS
0:06:09 > 0:06:12These guides will help identify the birds.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16You're not just looking, you're listening.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Every bird has a distinctive call.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Since when are YOU interested in bird-watching?
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Oh, I'm not. I just wanted an excuse to try out my new camera.
0:06:26 > 0:06:31- The imp. It has 6,000 megapixels, the biggest zoom lense ever.- Ah!
0:06:31 > 0:06:34See? A perfect shot of your nose hairs.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Mr Ratburn?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38We should split into two groups.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41It could improve our chances of seeing birds.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Good idea. Binky and Muffy, come with me.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47There may be some herons by the marsh.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48OK.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53The most important thing is that you're both really quiet. And...
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- HE SNIFFS - What's that smell?
0:06:55 > 0:07:00I brought some French cheese. It's called Vieux-Boulogne.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- The odour might attract Skunkamunka. - Eugh! Put that away!
0:07:04 > 0:07:06There are flies around it.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09This is going to be a very long day.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12See? It's attracting things already.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Hey, check out that pine tree. I think there's a woodpecker.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22It's really big! Hey, Brain, what do you think? Is it a woodpecker?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- Is it pecking at the wood?- Yeah.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Then it's a woodpecker. Now keep it down.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Why are you so grumpy?- Yeah!
0:07:30 > 0:07:34And we've found five birds already. You haven't found one.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37I thought you were good at this.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41I don't want you to ruin my chance of seeing the green-tailed...
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Green-tailed what?
0:07:42 > 0:07:47The green-tailed...mouse. No, I mean grouse. Ohh.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Oh, forget it, I'm looking for the green-tailed grebe.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55It's a really rare bird that no-one's ever photographed before.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Don't worry, Brain, my lips are sealed.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10"Have you seen this bird? Join the bird-watching club and you might!"
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Help find the green-tailed grebe right here in Elwo...
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Oh, morning, Brain.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18You're looking...big today.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21You said your lips were sealed!
0:08:21 > 0:08:24They were. But then they got unsealed.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26I think it was around breakfast.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30You've ruined my chances of making a scientific discovery.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I was trying to help.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36If more people look for it, we'll have a better chance.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41There! Now there's room for one more person. I quit!

0:09:09 > 0:09:10Settle down, everyone.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14We're here to see all birds, not just green-tailed grebes.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Can we split into teams?
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Winners will get a bigger cut of prize money.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Once and for all, there's no prize money, Muffy.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26But, yes, splitting into teams might be a good idea.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Goody. You two can carry lunch.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Hey, where's Buster? Didn't he start this grebe thing?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41He said he wasn't feeling well. Whoa!
0:09:41 > 0:09:46- Check out that cool caterpillar! - That's a woolly bear - dime-a-dozen.

0:09:48 > 0:09:49But look what it's in!
0:09:51 > 0:09:53What animal could have made that?

0:09:55 > 0:09:59One of you needs to invest in some deodorant.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30Alan. If you decide to join us again,
0:10:30 > 0:10:33the bird-watching club will be meeting at the Lands' End park,
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- not the forest.- Why?
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Apparently, someone thought they saw a monster -
0:10:38 > 0:10:43the stinky monkey or something. Now they're all afraid to go back.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- RUSTLING Hi.- Buster?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50What you doing here?
0:10:50 > 0:10:55Oh, wait, you must be trying to get footage of the Skunkamunka.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Actually, no. I...er... heard he left this area.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01I guess you're still looking for the grebe.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Mind if I tag along?
0:11:03 > 0:11:08Well, if it's just you, sure. I could use the company.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- RUSTLING - I've been using a recording

0:11:25 > 0:11:26It's him! It's him!
0:11:26 > 0:11:31- I don't believe it! It's really him! - Play the tape! Play the tape!
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Maybe he'll come closer.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- RECORDED VOICE PLAYS - No, stop! Argh!
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- I forgot to rewind!- Relax.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I got it all on tape.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45Or rather, it would have been on tape if there'd been a tape in the camera.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Sorry.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51You know what? It doesn't matter. We saw him!
0:11:51 > 0:11:53We saw the green-tailed grebe.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57- This is a great day!- And if a green-tailed grebe is out there,
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- then... - No. Skunkamunka does not exist.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Even if kids thought they saw him.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Er...that was just me.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09I pretended to be him because I felt bad about telling your secret.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10- Buster...- I know, I know,
0:12:10 > 0:12:15it was wrong of me to dress up like a monster and scare my friends.
