Nice work, Jim! Tannin

Yep! Including great pictures. But I hope you or someone add a section on introduced birds.

 * Good idea, Jerry. Thanks Tannin, I liked the new Cockatoo too. Jim


 * That was quick. A less important possible addition is Southern Hemisphere seabirds that winter in British waters during the boreal summer--if you have such birds, as we do in North America.  By the way, I think of thrushes as small birds like bramblings and buntings, not large ones like waterfowl and gulls.  JerryFriedman
 * Yes, I'll add the seabirds. All the British thrushes are the relatively large Turdus species, whereas most of the NAm species, except American Robin are much smaller. JIM

It seems to me that this is the least likely place to find the contained article. Is there any reason the entirety of this article could not be placed in british birds? I can't see a reason. If you think the result would be too long, then I suggest the latter be moved to "list of british bird species", which is what it really is. Maury 13:01, 8 Jan 2004 (UTC)
 * I do think that it would be too long, which is why I split British birds (about 55k) across two articles to start with. It has links from both those articles, which are the obvious place to look. I don't see any problem with the existing names, but if the britisn bird articles are moved, "List of British birds" would be better and more findable than "list of british bird species", jimfbleak 07:24, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I felt the pictures were a bit big and dominating the page a bit, so I've set them as thumb nails. 217.171.129.69 (talk) 12:48, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
