Topic: White-billed Diver (Gavia adamsii)

Chris,

Currently Gavia adamsii has a vernacular name in the species database of "Yellow-billed Diver", however, many birders know this species as "White-billed Diver" - see here:  http://blx1.bto.org/birdfacts/results/bob50.htm

Could I ask for this extra vernacular name/synonym to be added to the dictionary please ??

Cheers

Steve

Hi Steve - that has been done now - I have revamped the BTO bird list with the help of Andy Musgrove so all the recent changes to warblers and finches will be in there too. :)
