Id suggest that a birdwatcher is a term for someone who sees a bird in their garden or local park for example and has an interest to find out what it is and wants to know more...optics arent needed but certainly help haha...obviously different levels occur up to the hardcores but as with every hobby out there, it is what you yourself make it!Zac</blockquote>
