Well, I’m relieved to hear I’m a “bird watcher” and not a “birder”.
My life list, last time I checked was still shy of 500 species so I ain’t even remotely in the running.
They missed a term - “twitcher” - A twitcher is mostly a Brit term for those who dash around following unusual sightings, most often of single, out-of-range birds.
If that one guy was faking his sightings there’s another Brit term that applies:- “wanker”.
"...if the gentlemen of Virginia shall send us a dozen of their sons, we would take great care in their education, instruct them in all we know, and make men of them." Canasatego 1744
