Hi Geoff, Colin, and everyone else,
I know it's a bit late to add to the mentioned
subject, but I thought I let you know that the group of Fairy-wrens in Australia
is translated into German as 'Staffelschwanz' species, and Schwanz means
tail. So the Blue-breasted Fairy-wren is
a Blaubrust-Staffelschwanz.
(He, he, I have no problems with
that!)
The term layered tail comes to
mind.
Happy
Fairy-wren spotting,
Klaus
