Can anyone
>offer the REN for the following (locally) common names?
> buln buln
> white headed water hen
I belive the buln buln is the Ringneck Parrot (not sure if this is the
official
name) - certainly this name is used for the Mallee Ringneck in Eastman's "The
Parrots of Australia". I would bet that the second is the coot, though
that is
a guess - in other pats of the world the white bill shield has led to
analogous
names (eg bald pate, used over here for a duck, the American Widgeon).
