i would love to be able to identify a bird from its call or the shape of wide-spread wings as one flies overhead in theory it may seem impressive but if i were to successfully distinguish a chiffchaff from a willow warbler based on the patterning and colour of its plumage or the shape and length of its tail feathers i struggle to think of a single person who would respond with more than an indifferent mocking or pandering "oh"
