hmmm I'm no expert on waders but my first thought was the same as yours. Hope someone will be along soon to confirm.  |

Hi Ben,
In this case CP = Country Park.
I still always think "Gun-Shot Wound" before "Great Spotted Woodpecker" when people use GSW, but that's just cause I watch too many American TV dramas!

It's just that these abbreviations will not be known by new comers to the world of wildlife and may feel a little embarrassed to ask, in case they look daft. |
