noordse dief

nl-noun

noords diefje (diminutive neuter)

Literally, “nordic thief”, a blend of noordse stern (“arctic tern”, literally “nordic tern”) + visdief (“common tern”, literally “fish-thief”). These two tern species resemble each other a great deal visually and distinguishing features based on which an exact determination can be made are often difficult to spot from a distance in the field, especially by casual observers. This has led some birders to refer to birds they observe of these species using this more general term instead of attempting an exact determination.

The Pothoofd became a hotspot among botanists c. 1900 due to the prevalence of rare non-native plants which germinated there from seeds accidentally imported from distant lands (adventives), causing Pothoofdplanten to become, for some decades, emblematic for the phenomenon of adventive plants in the Netherlands in general.
