Weight of a robin in British Birds Encyclopedia

I tried to get this corrected through the "contact us' link
This is given as 189g, which must be a typo. (I wanted to compare the robin with the great tit, which feels like a stouter bird and has a weight given as 18g). An earlier value I had found for the robin was 14g

A cricket ball only weighs 163grms max! That's one really heavy Robin at nearly half a pound in weight

The BTO website is very useful for information such as this: BTO - Birds of Britain

This is what it says for a robin: Length: 14 cm Wingspan: 21 cm Weight: M/F: 18 g

For a great tit: Length: 14 cm Wingspan: 24 cm Weight: M/F: 18 g
