OK, this is a purely hypothetical question. But I'm wondering.
Suppose you catch some rare bird on a cameratrap that you have installed yourself, resulting in a photograph or video footage of this bird, while you haven't actually seen the bird with your own eyes. Would you then count this as a 'tick' on your lifelist? After all, you have photographed/ filmed it.
And a similar question. Suppose you have installed a CCTV camera somewhere and you are watching it live on a screen at night from the comfort of your home. Some rare owl appears. You see it live on your screen but not directly because the owl and camera are a mile away from you. Lifelist tick?
Just a mindfart that I had today :-O
