First of all, this is meant to be a light-hearted thread:t:
A few birds spring to mind that don't really fit their name. For a starter, Common Redpoll isn't the most common locally, the same as Common Gull. Then there's Tree Sparrow, which should probably be Hedge Sparrow, but not to be confused with the Dunnock's nickname.
How about Grey Wagtail, should that be Grey-But-With-A-Bit-of-Yellow Wagtail?
Finally, Barnacle Goose. What were those Victorians on:-O
