Got all this from Collective Nouns for Birds on the New Zealand Birds site. The list starts as it means to go on with a "diacriticality of accntors" and carries on in similar vein until it gets to an "incontinence of yellowlegs".
I just wonder what the collective noun is for people who think up names like this for collective nouns.
