I suppose that you can't dispute the logic, but for me this is reducing
bird watching to something that seems far removed from what it should
be. Ticking, twitching; I fear that the essence of appreciating birds
has devolved into a numbers game...might as well be train-spotting..

Well, you were there, the bird was there, there's no question of ID (I
assume), so why not?
My personal rule is that if it's going to be a tick you've got to rule
out all other possibilities, and if that includes taking a photo or a
recording away for later analysis that's fine.
