Vectis Birder
Itchy feet
While some birders are boring, birds certainly are not.
Try telling people how Swallows fly to South Africa for the winter and return to the same barn the following spring, or how a Hummingbird weighing as much as a penny migrates 500 miles across the Gulf of Mexico, and how if the wind changes direction they perish in the sea.
How Swifts spend their lives in the air.
Tell them how a female Bar-tailed Godwit flew 11,000 kms. flying for 9 days and nights non-stop.
Then most people will understand why you like birds. If they don’t, they have no souls.
Twite.
Brilliantly put, Twite. :t:
