Went birdwatching at various points along the local shoreline yesterday and the day before. Found myself thinking at one point of the posts I've seen that compare birding to Pokemon. I'm not sure I'd really make that comparison; 'gotta catch 'em all', yes, but you can't really deploy your list against anybody else's list for lifer battles...

Maybe a bit more like stamp collecting. But you can't buy the stamps at auction no matter how rare they are and how much other people talk them up.

And also if you specialize in certain types of stamp they're all several hundred yards away and bobbing up and down during windy weather to a degree that you can't even be sure what the hell stamp you're looking at.

So maybe not stamp collecting either.
