April fool!

Prunella vulgaris and Oenanthe crocata are plants, Prunella modularis and Oenanthe hispanica are birds . . . one of the quirks of scientific naming, that the same name can be used separately in the plant kingdom and the animal kingdom ;-)

I wonder if the Wheatears (birds) smell like wine.
