I’m not really a birdwatcher

Acquaintances often tend to refer to me as a birdwatcher or a birder. On my allotment I’ve heard that I’m known by fellow plot holders as ‘the Birdman’ due to my feeding the birds all winter; though in my defence, unlike my namesake, ‘the Birdman of Alcatraz’, I’m not a convicted murderer (only a convicted environmental activist).
