Nay, nay and thrice nay
As far as I am concerned, trying to connect with birds on a familiar patch is not twitching. Going to a local patch, hoping that something good is going to be there is not twitching.
However, going to a local patch to try and see mental looking chinese ducks and not seeing them is dipping. Going to a local patch, looking in the book to see what has been seen, finding out that the female Scaup is still knocking about and that there was a drake Goldeneye there in the morning and not seeing either of them is dipping. They look(ed) like this.
So there you have the brief synopsis of a small amount of birding over the weekend. Dipping.
Anyone noticed how tasty the Tufties are looking at the moment?

Lovely shots.
You have to twitch to dip - bloody twitcher!
Thanks to one, and pants to the other ;-)
No need to be like that :( I'm sensitive you know.
