I have a name for people who are that specific but alas I cannot put it on here LOL
They need to get a life and enjoy it while they can.
Wonder what the birds were, starlings I expect, who cares how many there was, I would have said c200k.

I know some people take a photo and then count them at home [ of pink feet ], but 193,874 still takes some believing. It would have to be a high resolution picture!

I noticed on Rare Bird Alert today that in Gwent there was a count of 193,874 flying over a wood. I find this to be beyond belief. How can anyone stand there counting and end up with such a precise number especially given the so called amount of birds. Even an approximate guess would be as bad.
