Hi Con
Having checked out the meaning of lumper : my dictionary offers
1.
A labourer employed in
loading and unloading cargoes, esp. timber
2. A kind of river-thief
3.Taxonomy. A taxonomist who is unwilling to use minute
variations
as a basis for the
establishment of a large number of different species or
genera.
and deduced you were intending meaning 3, I'd have to say no
chance.
Somebody in an earlier post noted that Great
Egrets are no longer that, but rather Eastern Great
Egrets.
This would point in the direction of splinterers rather than lumpers.
roger
and thanks to all, especially Geoffrey, who contributed to the egret
discussion.
I have had to reshuffle my photos a bit but I think I have got
them, egrets, under control, at least until a Little
Egret flies by.
