My parents are both pretty keen twitchers, especially now they're both retired. My best 'life tick' to date was spotting a Golden Eagle in the wild above Glen Nevis when I was maybe 11 or 12. We'd gone out to look for one especially, and I was seriously pissed at just having seen crows/buzzards all day; I remember saying, "oh look, another bloody crow" or something along those lines after spotting something in the distance, and then realising my mistake as one soared overhead. It was majestic.
