Isabel Hardman's written an interesting piece about twitchers and photographers in this week's Spectator.
She's become a bit of a wildlife enthusiast herself, so she's seeing things through a fresh pair of eyes.
She talks about people getting too close to the fauna or flora they're attempting to spot or photograph. Also, she mentions a book called 'Bird Therapy' written by an ex-twitcher who gave up his hobby after seeing the downside of mass viewings.
There's a few tales of idiotic behaviour at twitches which are either amusing or disturbing.
Well worth getting hold of a copy of the magazine if you're interested.
