I Have tried to ascertain the derivation of the title Baglafecht , without an apostrophe
The species has from time to time been called
1 Emin’s Weaver after Emin Pasha [ a german !]
2 Reichenow’s Weaver after Dr Anton Reichenow
3 Stuhlman’s Weaver after Dr Franz Stuhlman
The scientific name of each has Baglafecht in the title
I did post it on bird forum and the only comment was that it might have come from some French name Le Baglafecht by Buffon
Any one any ideas ?
