Birdwatching or birding is a hobby concerned with the observation and study of birds (the science proper is termed ornithology). The term "birding" is of American origin; "birdwatching" is the more commonly used word in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It is frequently said that "birding" is observing wild birds for pleasure, "birdwatching" is amateur study of birds, and "twitching" is seeing rare birds to accumulate a long list of species seen worldwide or in some given area.
