Scientific name tags

Why have I tagged your photo with a scientific name? I'm an admin for the Field Guide: Birds of the World. I also maintain an external index of the pool at flickr-fbw.co.uk. So I fix typos in scientific name or add synomyms for the bird list we use in the group.

Reproduction: My photos are mostly published under the Creative Commons licence so you can use them (with a name credited) without asking me. If you would like a larger original of one of my pictures, just drop me a line.

Email: You can email via the mail link on this page.

Disambiguation: I am not Alastair Rae the filmographer or the physicist of the same name.
