This field enables you to search for a specimens by common name(s), where available.

Currently, common names are available for all recent mammals and birds from the U.K.

Other search operators are available that enable different ways to search for text.

The field is not case sensitive and you may enter one or more words (e.g. Woodpecker or Green Woodpecker). As more words are entered, fewer results are returned.

The search works on whole words and not fragments of works.
