Kuriosa om storspoven

Storpovens latinska namn Arquata betyder bågformig vilket antyder till dess distinkt böjda näbb. Förr i tiden hade storspoven många lokala namn som tjullare, tullare och vindspole. I Bohuslän sades storspoven båda för regn och oväder när dess drill lät höras över sjömarkerna.
