Talk:Common murre

Untitled

Where does the name Common Murre come from? I've only heard Common Guillemot. Is Murre maybe the American name for the bird? From what I know the Common Guillemot is closely related to the Black Guillemot, and that is not listed as "black murre" on Wikipedia. Drattli (talk) 21:03, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

The Black Guillemot is in a different genus. Murre versus guillemot represents two different names used on different sides of the Atlantic. In global lists and works (like Wikipedia) sometimes the British name wins and sometimes the American one does; in this case the North American one did. Murre was used, I believe, in the past in Britain too. Sabine's Sunbird talk 22:39, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Picture caption

The the picture in the box does not show a bridled bird, as mentioned in the caption and according to picture details it was taken on Helgoland, not in Norway. 134.245.146.31 (talk) 09:23, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

I removed the caption but could find nothing that identifies the bird as coming from Helgoland. Dger (talk) 01:54, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
