    a skylark and a swallow

    Japanese Skylark is producing the dreaded "red X". The image can be found in the gallery here. The image presently under Cinnamon-throated Cave Swallow is in fact a regular Cave Swallow. (Cinnamon-throated is the West Indian form of this split and is well out of range in south Texas.)

    Over in the Patagonian Tinamou thread Niels mentioned that a fuzzy image was preferable to no image at all. In that spirit I dug through my files to present a slightly blurry record shot of the Blue Cuckooshrike Coracina azurea, presently missing from the database.

    Dealing with non-English characters.

    I've just been trying to make a redirect for the Swedish island of Öland. This looks like it works fine within opus. On the bf front page it instead generated a string of text like this: Öland leading to a blank entry. I tried replacing that with a redirect and it generated another one...
