Twitchers

What you're looking at is a bunch of twitchers. Twitchers are that rare breed of humans that will travel miles and miles for a glimpse of a rare breed of bird.

That's right, all these people have travelled from far and wide to this one spot where some rare bird is expected to make an appearance. They've brought their tripods, telephoto lenses, binoculars and whatnot hoping their special seagull - or whatever - will grace them with a photo opp.

I presume these are sentient humans, capable of feeding themselves and otherwise leading what would be known as a normal life, but when the bird word goes out, twitchers spring into action.

Why, look at all the action depicted here. Mind boggling.
