Hello Simon,
Just to let you know that I, as a fairly allround naturalist, like such details. It keeps you alert to taking into account what the surrounding of the observed bird has to offer (which of course could be essential to the identification of the bird, too).
Boa vista e sensibilidade! The Dutch name for Mimosa is: "Kruidje roer-me-niet" = "little-wort-don't-touch-me", although in flowershops etc. Mimosa is the usual term for Acacia-blossoms (yellow). Mimosa itself, with its pink flowers, was sold now and then, long ago in my memory.
Bom cumprimento, Jan van der Brugge
