2020 ANW Christmas Photo-Quiz

The Abington NatureWatch Christmas Photo-quiz - it's just what you really wanted for Christmas!!

It's much the same as the quiz at our member's autumn meeting last year, but this time it's all virtual! 

Each 'panel' (labelled A to M) consists of six 'close-ups' of different species - birds, animals, insects, plants, amphibs - they're all there! 

Clue - all the species included have been seen and reported within the Abington parishes during 2020, and all the 'close-ups' are taken from photos posted on the blog this year.  Simply click on the 'panels' below to see a larger view.

And so - here's the fun bit - How many species can you identify?  

Feel free to make a note of your thoughts, and we'll post the answers on the blog early in the New Year!  Have fun!

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, and a safe, healthy and Happy New Year!
- from the ANW Project Team.

The Aims of Abington Naturewatch

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.

A map of the area covered, with some features noted, is available here: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=213774935674882866424.00000111dca2be9f06ab8&z=13>

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)
