G'day all
This was another regular topic during my time at
Broome where dropping the "s" was quite habitual for some. My personal opinion
is that although it doesn't bother me either way, I do feel that it
sounds a little pompous to say "we caught quite a few godwit today". Of
course, you can get away with it totally if you were to say "we caught
quite a few Asian Dowitcher today"!
Happy birding
