G'day all

The International Ornithological Congress has just updated its list of
Recommended English Names.

It's available as a download (Excel spreadsheet).

Though some of you might be interested.

Interesting but not really relevant to us.
That is a list of "English names" but we in Australia use "Australian names" or, as I prefer, "Australian common names".
It is good, though, to see the use of capitalisation.

To paraphrase a "much disgraced Australian Senator": So there you go.
