I have started an Access database of birds from countries I have been to. To make sure that I don't repeat a bird in my total bird list, I have used the scientific name as a key. However, when I did some cross referencing from the different country lists, the actual names of many birds with the same scientific name seemed quite different. For example, surely a black-bellied plover isn't the same as a grey plover?
If 2 birds have the same scientific name it is going to make this a lot harder than I thought.
