If you have more then one White-front, i.e Lesser and the normal White-front, then it needs a qualifier. So in BWP it is White-fronted Goose, but in Handbook of Birds of the World it is Greater White-fronted Goose. I have no strong feelings on the subject, what ever the English name it is Anser albifrons. The KOS uses the new spcies order, but remains confused in it's names. E.g it uses Common Redstart, and Northern Wheatear, also names which I doubt if you use.Tony Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516463619239374331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699498022364463633.post-45105775748097423592011-11-18T07:22:44.295+00:002011-11-18T07:22:44.295+00:00Tony, Although I googled the name and found that y...Tony, Although I googled the name and found that you are right, that is the first time in my life that I've seen Whitefronts referred to as Greater. I can't say as I've ever seen that name used by the KOS anywhere either. Although I suspect I know why you've used the name, it'll be interesting today to ask a few bird watching chums if they've ever heard of that name either.Derek Faulknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05140363868104172311noreply@blogger.com
