Re: you can't send a birdwatcher to do a twitcher's job

All cleared up now.

The only reference I know on the vexed question of the taxonomy of
people interested in birds is "Bill Oddie's Little Black Bird Book"
(Eyre Methuen, London, 1980), especially Chapter 2: "What am I? What are
you?".  Is there anything more up to date ?

Apologies for taking up your time and distracting Tony Russell from his
important Tolderol campaign.
