Irish Tern - Beyond the Pale

Nobody is keener or more determined than I am (or at least I like to think so) when it comes to twitching a MEGA...of my choice. However, "The Tern" in Ireland at the moment involves a journey, that as far as I'm aware...is illegal? As previously stated...I'm a British twitcher and that has saved me a few quid over the years! So the current target is moot. I do find the current trend to split hairs...sorry birds...thinner and thinner is getting tiresome, despite the "appliance of science" (now where have I heard that before?). So speaks the grumpy old fart!

I never get into specifics regarding individuals decisions, especially on forums etc...it's a free world and people are free to make their own choices. They must also be ready to face the consequences! Not that some will care. I wouldn't want to upset anyone...would I?

To be honest when all is said and done it's a futile race to...nowhere! I enjoy the "thrill of the chase" but trying to "win the league" is an area shaded with grey.

I've always been competitive but with twitching it's best to choose your races...and this definitely isn't one of them in my book. I will enter a few in the future...hopefully...
