Hi Chris.......In this case twitchers means " non-photographic,list ticking,bird watchers".
We have had "tensions" with "us and them" over the last year.

There were Green Sandpipers on the day, I think they had come to look for them.

Thanks

I know how frustrating that is. I had my camera pointing into a hedgerow to get some Long Tailed Tits that were squabbling in a group. It was obvious to all and sundry that I was lining up for a shot when a couple 'just out for a stroll' come bounding past with their dog, laughing and joking. LTT's took off like a shot. I know reserves etc are for everyone, and don't want to appear one sided, but as you say some manners and respect for others goes a long way.:bat:
 
That's a great capture! Looks as if he's going to foxtrot!

So, not twitchers at all then.
Thanks for clarifying.
 
Thanks everyone.........

My comments were a bit tongue in cheek....KAZ will confirm I don't take anything seriously....BUt I wonder what shot I would have got if he had come closer.This is a life-time best as it is.

TWITCHERS.......They were just local ones that tick |EVERYTHING off in their books.
