Aunt Joan reveals she has a rare bird nesting on her land but wants to keep it a secret to deter prospective egg thieves. Sure enough, her tactless nephew opens his mouth to the local baker, who spies an opportunity to save his ailing business by making it a new attraction. Before long the peaceful community of Portwenn is over-run by twitchers eager to catch a sight of the bird, and Dr Ellingham finds himself in the locals' bad books yet again.
