Great tit image on Coal tit page is confusing in Google Images[edit]

Hi all

If you google this: "coal tit wiki" and look at images, the second hit is a Great tit, with caption "Coal tit - Wikipedia".

It seems that the Great tit image, although of interest about the historical confusion between the species, has too much prominence and is likely causing confusion now.

I suggest removing the Great tit image entirely, and just describe the issue and maintain the link to the Great tit article.

Oh G*d! Brilliant spot. My first reaction = "tough ****, this has nothing to do with us" ... followed by "aargh, it's awful, we must fix it!" In other words, it is a stupid problem but a real one, and as we can't fix Google's foolishnesss, Wikibrumblue is probably right and we should fix it from our end in order to Do The Right Thing by grillions of people Out There. It's annoying but yes! What do others think? DBaK (talk) 20:02, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
