23rd May 2025 - whilst taking part in the Abington late bank holiday Bird Survey, Andy M again undertook to walk as many of the public footpaths and permission paths within the village parish boundaries as possible over the long bank holiday weekend. Whilst recording and photographing the birds he saw and heard for the survey, he walked around 25 miles, finding 58 bird species. Derek will collate the full results of the Bird Survey separately, but the next few posts include some of the photos Andy took on his travels, starting with the Roman Road. This is the northern boundary of the Abington parishes of course, and includes good numbers of farmland birds, like Linnet, Corn Bunting and Skylark, considered quite uncommon in other parts of the country. In addition to those species shown below, other species of note seen there were Grey Partridge, Common Whitethroat and Lesser Whitethroat.
