Thanks for taking the time to read my article, Ronnie.
And I love how the word "opinionated" is a mark of praise at this stage in life when it usually wasn't when we were trying to make our way in the world.
Those differentiators are purely my own, needless to say. I know plenty of good people who would be happy describing themselves as 'birders' and/or 'twitchers'. It's just that I don't think of myself as either.
This is good Mark. Educational for me as well as opinionated. Given I’d often think about these large groups (of mostly men) who were inhabiting a lot of the same walking spaces as I do, but with much bigger cameras and never walking around. Now I know they’re part of one of those “there are two types of humans” comparisons. Birders, them - and non-birders, the rest of us. “Twitchers” being a sub-category of birders and of no relevance to said rest of us.

Keep up the good work yourself.
And please keep bigging up George Eliot!
