Taxonomy drivers


Perhaps it's an urban myth, but in Britain today, you are never more than 10 feet away from a wallchart. There used to be only very rare sightings of these - every two years or so, around the time of the World Cup or European Championships. But during this year's warm summer, their numbers have boomed.

If you read your news online, the wallchart phenomenon may well have passed you by, which is a shame. Your walls may be bare and you could be the only person left in the UK who doesn't know the Latin name for the great crested grebe.
