Can YOU guess what these rare British nature words mean?

Sally Downie, some of them are Scottish.

10/11. I knew a few but guessed the rest.

8 / 11. Never heard of any of these!

9/11. More by luck than judgement. Very strange collection of obscure terms.

Name from past. Use to come in Waitrose. Funny man

Apart from Petrichor, I've never heard of any of these words used in the English Language and I'm English. To be honest, some of them sound foreign.

Had to guess & got 5. Think you made them up.

10/11. This American missed Neptune's uouue (thought he was being rambuncius - sp? - not stealthy). Obviously had to guess at all of them, but those I got right seemed to be rather descriptive. This turned out to be fun.

8/11, same, same, same - just can't get last 3 to stay in my memory, bother!!!

8/11 same again. This is an interesting test and still same knowledge.

'Nurdle' was a word claimed to have been invented in the early 1960s by Michael Bentine (ne of the original Goons). It was alleged to have been a term used in an old Somerset pub game called 'drats'.

8/11 - good score today.

Thanks for showing the correct answers.

11/11 must have done this quiz before, as to their origins, well it doesn't matter, English above all other human languages, steals words when it finds a better ones elsewhere.

8/11 like most people never heard of any of these and I am English.
