you're definitely no the only one who read the hawkweed bit with trepidation. i had to go and sit in a darkened corner and repeat 'its a daisy not a dragon' lots of times.
i think the bap lists for birds are weird. i don't really understand why they've dropped them down to race. i'm a bird person and i'd be hard pushed to tell you whether one dunnock is a different race to another. ringer's would probably have better luck! on the other hand if its breeding in this country its probably a british black tailed godwit, not an icelandic one!
