    Nice morning quiz

  63. Linda Galloway

    Nice quiz. Managed 10/10, though 6 and 9 were “educated guesses” and 10 was just a lucky guess. It did make me look up “end of Autumn” after I was done, but the information was quite confusing. Seems we have two choices of when seasons begin and end. Who knew?

  64. Hilary Weston

    Great fun. Thank you very much

  65. Wendy Berwick

  84. Ben Haworth

    Usually don’t bother with quizze’s but this was good with one or two quite difficult questions. Keep up the good work !
    8 or 9 Q correct, not too bad but had to guess 1 or 2.

  85. Jennifer Parry

    Really good quiz. Didn’t get them all right but so interesting on the ones I got wrong. If we continue feeding birds through the winter it will help our mental state throughout this dreadful virus, as well as helping birds.

  86. David Bull

    Perfect, how about that

    I guessed a lot and was pleased how many were right!! I learnt a lot of interesting facts. More please!!
