Thats called stringing. That would upset the twitchers a bit!!!!
I think we've all got a little carried away identifying birds and loose our heads a little. Its that initial buzz that you get when the bird looks different or its something you have never seen even if it is common. I went out yesturday afternoon and the only really exciting bird I saw was a Barn Owl...
Great Birds to see and I watched it hunting in the distance for half an hour. It only came close enough to photo the once, but it still made my day.
