Poor Judge of Pasta.
Disappointed to have been wrong, but pleased I now know better! :t:
PS. And I would be careful with quite a few 'Congo' birds. Hard to tell if it's after the River, the Country, the Colony, etc. etc.
-
Gambian Swallow, etc. - the country Gambia is named after the River Gambia
And of course, River Warbler - after rivers in general, not a specific river!
Do Senegal Coucal, Thick-knee, Parrot etc count on the same basis? Any other countries named after rivers that could help?
When it isn't a burn, or a syke or sike, or a gyll or gill, or a cleugh, or a letch, or a water, or a linn, or a grain, ....All depending on; when does a rinn, a runnel, or a ripple, becomes a stream, or a river, when does a stream becomes a rivulet, or a river, when is a creek a river, a flood, a torrent, a tributary or a river (delta) ... well, I'm done.
Good luck Jan (in this river of unsorted replies)
