Re: birding-aus Twitching

[Atriplex Services <>]

I think Trevor is spot on with all his comments about the term
"twitching" and its impact on the general public; particularly the
unfortunate mental image conjured up, of some poor, eccentric nerd who
needs to get a life, litterally twitching with excitement at the
prospect of seeing a bird. (This is no longer MY mental image because I
now know better, but it used to be..) Its hardly a good marketing image
for a sane body of people with a worthwhile cause to support, is it? I
much prefer the term bird race.
