If they still had steam trains I suspect the number of birders would be reduced in Britain by about 80%!

Cheers

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.

Some of you may have read my recent posts about a trip to Michelmas
Cay last week and the fact that i didn't see any Black Noddy's.
Well I am just going through my photos in more detail and i have found

a Black Noddy in a photo!!
Does it count as a tick or not??

Interested to hear people's thoughts.

Cheers
Dave
