    Birding parlance

    Some of the terms mentioned by Surreybirder (tystie and ernie) as possibly Gaelic are probably Old Norse, i.e. Icelandic. the modern Icelandic for Black Guillemot is "teista" and generically for eagle "örn." Talk of Commic Terns reminds me that I saw plenty of Crekla Larks in Spain last week.
