alt Hacker NewsIf you haven’t seen it, Listers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl-wAqplQAo) provides a great glimpse into what competitive birdwatching looks like. It’s nothing like casual birdwatching.

I can’t recommend this documentary enough. The algorithm dropped it onto my YouTube homepage one day and I wasn’t expecting to watch more than a few minutes but I was drawn in immediately.
I don’t consider myself a birder but I’ve got into nature photography in recent years and it’s such a joy to get out for sunrise or sunset and to come home with a special shot.
It's so good. Nature documentary made by a pair of endearing dirtbags.
Absolute banger documentary, rewatched it last week with my SO!
Great doc. Also recommend the classic Encounters: Twitchers (1996) as a spiritual precursor.
nice. Still, competitive birdwatching sounds like competitive meditation :)
Really great.
I watched this is and it's such a great documentary. I really want to take a year now and try to get at least in the top 25% of birders for the year. I was into casual birding before (it's my favorite thing to do when traveling to a new place, just wander around the area and spot local birds). But now I'm loving the idea of these monthly or annual "competitions"
