News: First Swallow over the village
Friday 2nd April, 2021
Marion R spotted the first Swallow of the year in the Abingtons today, over her home in Little Abington.
This is several days earlier than 2020, when the first Swallow was seen on 5th April, and in both 2019 and 2018 the first sighting was on 6th.
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)
