From a ‘twitching’ perspective, how would you typically describe yourself? *

Obsessive twitcher - I go for almost everything that I still need

Regular twitcher, but don't go for every rarity that is available

Keen, but not obsessed, I prefer regular birding

Not interested in twitching

I would go out of my way to avoid twitches

What is your main motivation for twitching rarities? *

Thrill of the chase

I love the idea of building my regional list, the number is what motivates me

New birds are always exciting to see

The community and vibe, I like hanging out at the scene and socializing

Other:

How far would you travel to see a new bird or rarity in southern Africa? *

Anywhere in the subregion

Anywhere within my own country

Within my province

Within 200 km of where I live

Not more than 50km away

I would not go out of my way, but would look if I happened to be there

I am not a twitcher, so would probably not worry much

How soon after an alert are you attempting to make an effort to go see a rarity? *

Immediately, or as soon as I could

First available weekend, as weekday commitments make it impossible

I would wait it out to see if the bird hangs around for a few days before making plans

I would probably go within a week of the bird first being found

I am normally in no rush, so I’ll get there when I get there

How much money would you be willing to spend to see a mega bird that has only been seen a handful of times before or is new to the regional list? *

Less than ZAR 2000

ZAR 2000-5000

ZAR 5000-10000

Which province and country do you live in? *
