Topic: Species list downloads

A request to add English names as well scientific names to species list downloads. If the general public are to be directed to use some of the (potentially) simple tools for exploring records, English (common) names, where they exist, would I'm sure be very helpful to them.

Re: Species list downloads

Might I add that the taxon group (insect-dragonfly, terrestrial mammal etc.) would also be useful as many users will not be able to filter or understand the taxonomic tree in quite the same way as experienced recorders or scientists can.
