Twitchers' vocabulary

Twitchers watching a mega—Britain's fifth-ever white-tailed lapwing—and probably adding a lifer to their list; see text for explanation of italicised terms

Twitchers' vocabulary is the set of jargon words used by twitchers (committed birdwatchers who travel long distances to see a new species to add a species to their "life list", year list or other list). Some terms may be specific to regional birding communities, and not all are used due to dialectic and cultural differences.[1][2][3]
