Cayley's 'What Bird Is That?'

["Stephen Ambrose" <>]

I've also been meaning to mention over the last few days that Serventy &
Whittell 1976 [Birds of Western Australia (UWA Press, Perth)] provide
Aboriginal names for many birds species that occur in Western Australia.
Unfortunately, they do not provide Aboriginal names for the Black-necked
Stork.

While on the subject of the Willie Wagtail, Serventy & Whittell list the
following Aboriginal names:

Jind-ril (Godfrey's Tank, Canning Stock Route), Chitti-chitti (Coolawanyah &
Palinup River), Chee-ri-gal (North West Cape), Jindy-jindy (Lyons River),
Tjittee tjitee (Jigalong), Chindi-chindil (Warburton Range), Wil-ar-ing,
Wil-laring (Perth)and Jit-te-jit-te (Avon River).

Yes, my apologies, I only have hardback ones and had forgotten that. If
purchasing examine book first and caveat emptor ;-)

Please note , however, that only the hardback version of Cayley has this
very useful information.

It is not in the paperback versions.
