Here’s a challenge for you – have you been paying attention to the UK wildlife and countryside news this year? Review your knowledge with the Ranger’s quick quiz of the year – then come back and tell us how you did!

Take the quiz now!

Of course, it would be easy to find the answers using Google, but you won’t have so much fun if you do. The quiz is hosted elsewhere on Naturenet – this blog doesn’t lend itself to quiz-type pages. But do come back afterwards, and tell us how you did, and your wildlife highlights of 2009.

What a great night! I promised an update and here it is. Naturenet was very pleased to be invited to the BWPA awards ceremony, where The Ranger used Twitter to report live from Hoopers gallery, Clerkenwell, where it was all happening.

The Ranger is reporting the winners from the BWPA ceremony at Hoopers Gallery, London. There are some remarkable pictures here, really wonderful stuff. But of course there can only be so many awards given, and one overall winner. We’ve got access to those top images courtesy of BWPA. So read on to enjoy the cream of British wildlife photography right here on Naturenet.

The BWPA ceremony is this Wednesday and Naturenet will be there! We’ve been invited along to see the awards presented, and maybe even do some live tweeting or blogging from the auditorium.

So keep your eyes on Naturenet if you’re interested to see what’s going on. Plus, the Ranger wants to know, did any readers enter the competition? Or were you tempted, but decided not to? What do you think of the BWPA so far – and what should they do next year? Come on, you can tell us. Leave your comment below – and if we get a few photos to show perhaps I might do a follow-up post of Naturenet readers’ BWPA entries, or non-entries.

I forgot this great image of a Bee Wick (see previous post) in a particular context. So here it is…

Can you tell what it is yet? Come on… there’s a reason why I took this pic, can you work it out? A clue: it involves a terrible pun. As we seem to be in a puzzle mood at the moment I’ll let you guess.
