Hi James;

Bank Swallow is BANS

and Barn Swallow is BARS

There are always a few exceptions to the rule of using the first two letters of a two word name - for the very reason you mention: more than one species would end up with the same initials.

The one that gets me is: BTNW - Blk-throated Green Warbler - to distinguish from Blk-thr Grey Warbler, maybe?

For your reference, there's a list of species codes on the Atlas website under resources  > coding sheets.

Cheers;
Suzanne
