A twitcher is a person who is very enthusiastic about watching and identifying wild birds, especially those who travel long distances to see rare species.
用法与细微差别
This is British informal slang, mostly used in the UK birdwatching community. Not a general word for all birdwatchers: a 'twitcher' specifically chases rare birds, while a 'birdwatcher' may casually observe common species. Sometimes used playfully or humorously.
