I have just finished reading The Big Twitch. Its a great read, full of laughs and plenty of fantastic information about birds, the logistics of twitching and life in general. All us birding characters are there. It can only do us good to laugh at ourselves.
I would get run out of the twitchers' club as I don't even know how many Australian species I have seen but I do like to see a 'lifer', have travelled far to see some and have a guide book where I write the place and date of when I first saw and fully recognised a bird. I am not too worried about spelling errors but think it is a good idea to try to get it right.
