Christmas Quiz


In keeping with the newly formed tradition from last year, this year we have another Christmas quiz. Unfortunately we don't have any prizes this year but the highest score does take the prestigious title of King of the Quiz for the next year. Just to remind you, the title is currently held by Barry Batchelor.

All the answers are birds that have been seen in Oxfordshire. Please submit your answers to Gnome before the New Year.
