When I first got an interest in birdwatching I heard about a Ross's gull in Inverness and took off down. When I got there there was a line of twitchers, at least a hundred, underneath the bridge scopes at the ready. Ross didnt appear for anyone but I noticed a black swan down by the waters edge and said to the people around me. Look there's a black swan. I knew they were resident in Australia. No one was interested because it wasnt a wild bird. Probably an escapee from some park. Twitchers are an odd bunch.
