I've been having a chat with Keith Martin (ex Adelaide via Scotland;
currently Belgium) on the subject of mammal twitching. Now I realise
these aren't birds (the fur is a dead giveaway) and that twitching is
meaningless and evil - but it's still fun and relatively harmless
(depending on how it's done). Read no further if mammals or twitching
bore you.
What counts as a tick? Is it just free-ranging animals that you can
identify, or does it include animals captured during various
survey/study activities? I include both - but I'd be against trapping
just to get a tick (so to speak). Captive animals are clearly right out
of contention. What do other people think? Does anyone care?
If there's sufficient interest, I'll put up a page of mammal twitchers
and their totals on my web site (similar to, but less elegant than, Tony
Palliser's birding twitcher page). Keith and I are intrigued to see who
has what, and how many.
Send answers direct to me <> and I'll
summarise for the list.
Cheers, Lawrie
