This was a very long distance twitch... I walked there! Not sure of the definition but at what point do you draw the line? If you're in a hide and the guy over the other side points out a bird and you go to his bench to see it is that twitching? Looking on wikipedia they reckon:In which case I doubt you could truly be a pedestrian twitcher unless your name is Wainwright. |<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />| I did add it to the list I put in the Chelmsford group on flickr...  slippery slope! :eek!<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />on't think I'll be getting a pager and a helecopter to the Scillies 'just' yet though.
