Yes I agree with you Andy, but let's not take the thread off topic.

The topic was over I thought?

In relation to one of the OP's, has Cetti's reached Lancs now, I'm a bit out of touch?

There are multiple Cetti's at Leighton Moss, with evidence of breeding

First confirmed breeding at Leighton Moss in 2012 Andy, but probably before bred that.

Welsh Peregrine was spot on!

It seems to have been coined to denote the the difference between a spotter and a photographer within the main spotting fraternity. You have something similar in the birding world which I discovered last weekend, a twitcher and a photographer as in "sorry mate, I only photograph the birds, no idea what they are, ask a twitcher"
In the railway world, which I think is where it started, a spotter and a fotter are always at loggerheads, a spotter will stand on a platform getting his numbers while the fotter just wants a nice clean shot and lets this be known on occasions in a very vocal and loud way, and with a lot of anglo-saxon words thrown in for good measure.

Yes,
what is becoming of our language, I despair at times, becoming so lazy that we can't say the whole word and corrupting it to the point that we have to guess the meaning!

Eastablished abbreviation not some mutant word that no one understands!

I changed it for, you are right, it was a bit hypocritical of me, I'm just old and grumpy.
