A TWITCHER’S DELIGHT.
It’s been called the greatest wildlife spectacle in Britain and is remarkable to witness. Studies suggest that starlings congregate in these remarkable ‘murmurations’ to deter possible predators, which are confused by the swirling masses. Despite a recent drop in their overall population, you can still witness the mesmerising sight of thousands of birds performing their amazing aerial dance at dawn and dusk.
Now on reflection you may think this calendar is all a bit dull, a calendar that’s strictly for the birds so to speak, but these memorising murmurations in a calendar format seen through a twitcher’s loving eyes will suggest a calendar full of wildlife wonder. So seek out your wildlife loving friends and gift them this unique calendar experience.
Now, it has to be stated nothing ruffles feathers more in the birding world than twitching. It’s a contentious term, and although the words twitcher and bird watcher, or birder, are often used interchangeably, particularly in the media, or by anyone who has a low opinion of people who enjoy
watching birds, the word twitcher has a specific definition.
A twitcher is someone who goes to great lengths to view new bird species. Whereas most bird watchers will be content with spotting birds on their local patch or anything they come across while out in the field or on their travels, twitchers actively hunt down birds, usually to add to their life list.
For some twitchers, their pursuit can turn into an obsession on par with an Olympic sport, and can involve extensive travel, dedicated monitoring of birding hotspots, rare bird alerts,
apps, and websites, and networking with other twitchers. Some twitchers have even been known to charter aeroplanes to achieve their goals. Hardcore twitching can ruin
friendships, marriages, employment prospects, and drain one’s bank account.
Enthusiastic bird watchers were described variously as pot-hunters, tally-hunters, or tick-hunters. In the US, the term chaser is sometimes used instead of twitcher.
