Summertime!

Moscow is full of nature and life. A few simple quizzes, all showing birds and trees which can be seen inside the city.

Which leaf comes from each tree?

         
Birch
Oak
Beech
Willow
Ash

Which footprint belongs to which bird? (You may need to go to the zoo for a couple of them. (Not to scale!)

         
Duck
Penguin
Crow
Eagle
Gull

Birds and Trees

Hidden in this camouflage are 23 local species. One of the trees is there twice, and a family of three birds are there. So are two cats, climbing up to get them, and one small flying mammal. Look across, vertically and diagonally. Hint: every square is used!

Latin and English

All trees are named in Latin. Can you match the proper tree to the common name? These are shuffled:

Fagus – Quercus – Salix – Ilex – Acer
Sycamore – Oak – Holly – Beech – Willow
