BBC story - capitalising bird names

[Mark Stanley <>]

I noticed that the article in the link supplied by David uses lower-case
letters for the Spoon-billed Sandpiper's name and I recall this issue being
raised before on birding-aus.  Has anyone found out why the BBC takes this
approach? I have asked them myself but not very hopeful of a response.
