Topic: No Blackbird?
Well, there are quite a lot really - over 9.5M records and perhaps the species with the most records on the NBN Atlas. However, if you go to https://species.nbnatlas.org/ and type 'Blackbird' you can't find the common resident species Turdus merula.
If one looks on https://species.nbnatlas.org/species/NH … 674#names, it appears that we have 10 different Welsh names for Blackbird, but no English ones.
Just delving a bit further, I see that the English name for Blue Tit (8.7M records for Cyanistes caeruleus) is also missing. One would assume that other bird names are also missing (although not all). Have some of these names disappeared since launch?
Please let me know if you need any help with a definitive list of English bird names, happy to help.
Thanks
