Added. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:31, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • With such a large range, I'd assume some subspecies are recognised or have been proposed?
Apparently not. Added. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:31, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wisht as a winnard

[edit]

To what does this Cornish phrase refer? the whinchat bird, see the BBC website referenced below. Or the Redwing, see List of Cornish dialect words, or a Peregrine Falcon, as in Birds of Cornwall the North Cornwall paragraph. I suspect it's the whinchat.[1]BeckenhamBear (talk) 09:05, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
