Hi Volunteers,

When linking photos to the database, please do so after double-checking the scientific classification of the bird and not only relying on the Common name which in many cases can be used for more than one bird.

Last night, I found a photo of an African Ploceus (Ploceus subaureus) linked to the slot for an Asian Ploceus (Ploceus megarhynchus). The curious thing is that the photo even had the latin name inserted into the photo and it was still missed.
