I can see the twitching stalker having a couple of lists:
One for all twitchers met;
One for all twitchers photographed;
One for all twitchers spotted on a TWITCH.
The latter [spotting twitchers chasing rarities] is the big ticket list.
All this presupposes that twitchers can be reliably distinguished from
normal birders. This can be difficult as some birders moult into non-
twitching plumage at certain times of the year ....

Hmmmm... It's a game that Ruth and I have been playing for a while...
HOWEVER, we must set some rules:
You can only twitch a twitcher in the field - in other words,
meeting Mike
Carter at BA or BOCA meeting doesn't count!
You can count twitchers that you have guided (that way I get to
count the
Moorheads!)
You must either be able to positively identify the twitcher, OR you
must
personally introduce yourself so you can ID them.
I can't think of any other rules yet...
