Yes, the RSPB encourages these people to travel to "twitch" and at the
same time tell us not to "cook the planet".

Please produce your evidence that the RSPB "encourages these people to
travel to twitch".

It advertises holidays to view birds and says on it's website what
birds are at what reserves. Haven't you noticed?

You are mistaken if you think that would interest "twitchers". I didn't
think you had any evidence.

Well, bird watchers. One's as bad as the other.

That might be your opinion, but you might just once in a while try to
get your facts right.

They're all twitchers to me.

Well, they're not the same, so you've learnt something new :-)


What' the difference?

You've been told this before. Look it up.


So can't say. As I said one's a bad as the other and there's little
difference if any.

Twitching is a British term, meaning "the observation of a previously
located rare bird".

Birdwatching or birding is the observation and study of birds with the
naked eye or through a visual enhancement device like binoculars


And they're being encouraged to travel by the RSPB who tells us not to
"cook the planet" - except where it seems to make them money :-((

Obsession alert!!

Yes. The RSPB's obsession with money.

A charity raises money to spend on its aims, Angus. Even *you* must know
that.

So why's it telling us not to cook the planet and accepting paying
adverts for world-wide travel?

All truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident.
