I love how what is super common here in Chicago (White-crowned Sparrows) can be super exciting somewhere else where it is a once in a lifetime sighting. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

In 2008, a white-crowned sparrow, native to North America and rarely seen in Europe, drew crowds of birdwatchers to a garden in Cley, North Norfolk.

Yup, you're following our main code we've had for decades. You're putting the birds first.👍 (😉'Birdwatchers' Code'. Interesting order there for sub-groups. Sure that gave it some thought.. ) 1/2

Birdwatchers are also disrespectful to birds, at a twitch recently I seen flushing in progress at a south Warwickshire wryneck . Pathetic.

Love this idea of bugwatching. But, birdwatchers are birders... and bugwatchers will be buggers?

Looks like a kind of Sparrow? I think birdwatchers call all these types of birds LBJ's (Little brown jobs)
