A lifelist is a list of all the birds seen in your lifetime. Once you have got into building up a life list, you then become a twitcher. A twitcher is someone who actively seeks out new birds to put on their lifelist and the word is supposed to describe the uncontrollable spasms of excitement when seeing a new bird for the first time. Most birders are twitchers to some extent, but the degree to which the ticking of new species is important is a personal thing. Not something I can relate to. Seems like an 'Artisan' activity.
