Report images in the Gallery with the wrong scientific name (2 Viewers)

Thanks Mike. Corrected.

I've left it at Larus, as it re-directs to the Black-headed Gull page, which is the OP's preference. So many people still use that scientific name, it would not be possible for us to catch them all, nor indeed to go through the whole Gallery to change all those that have been uploaded in the past .... how many years has BF been going? LOL

These family shifts are a bit of a nightmare, aren't they LOL
 
Thanks Mick, I'll look into it shortly.

I'm only just awake!!;)

Change from Cape White-eye Zosterops capensis to Yellow-bellied Greenbul Chlorocichla flaviventris

https://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=442830

Please change from Spot-bellied Eagle-Owl Bubo nipalensis to Brown Fish-Owl Ketupa zeylonensis

https://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=349537

All done now, thanks Joe.
 
I think it would be a good idea to contact the poster of the photo and let them know it is not the right name for the bird and ask permission to change the name.
 
Thanks KC. I did have this tab open ready to work on it, but got rather busy.
