Dozy Bumblebee
29th March 2024 - Emma J came across this somewhat dozy Buff-tailed Bumblebee on a fallen flower. Being a little chilled, it seemed unable to move, so Emma transferred it to a nearby flowering shrub where it could top up on nectar.
At their meeting on 9 April 2005 the members approved this revised version of the aims of Abington Naturewatch:
To monitor and record the wildlife (fauna & flora) within the borders of the Abingtons;
To encourage protection of our wildlife, maintain its quality and foster its diversity;
To promote awareness of the richness, potential and problems of the natural environment of the Abingtons;
To cooperate in improving access to the local natural environment for the benefit of all Abington villagers.
Pat Daunt, Founder
The organisation is informal and communication is by email if possible; members are notified of events from time to time. Contact details are maintained by a small "project team". There is currently no membership fee as costs are covered by voluntary contributions at events.
Members are encouraged to report notable sightings of flora and fauna within the Abingtons to the appropriate sector coordinator and an illustrated record is published annually.
For more information or to join, please contact David Farrant on (01223) 892871.
Contributions to our records should be sent to sector contacts or either of the above. Photographs may also be submitted to Andy Merryweather (amerryweather61@gmail.com)
