about

3rd July 1844 marks the last recorded sighting of the Great Auk; a pair of birds were killed on the island of Eldey by Icelandic fisherman for Victorian specimen collectors. Errol Fuller wrote a wonderful book on the species. The track also features on "Glasgow Temperance Society" as a live radio session.
