Bollocks to that! Expecting all people to understand and track down all allusions no matter how vague can sometimes be a stretch, but expecting people to look-up "cattle egret" if they don't know what it is is fair play in my book. Stop being hard on yourself, or I'll come down there and give you a right talking to!
