RE: Brush Wattlebird

["Conole, Lawrie" <>]

Apologies, etc.  I got my small "wattle-less" wattlebirds the wrong way
around.  When I enter the wrong one into my BirdInfo database (as I
ocasionally do), it makes the correction for me, so I still haven't learnt
;-)  The names Brush Wattlebird and Little Wattlebird have been used
interchangeably for so many years for both populations; further reinforcing
the general lack of worth of many vernacular names (at the risk of starting
that thread again ....).

I suggest:

1.  Western Banksia-bird
2.  Eastern Banksia-bird

Then I'll only need to remember which state I'm in to get the name right.

Thanks .........
