Sorbus aucuparia

Good morning All. Thought I’d start the week with a pic of the berries on the #mountainash before the birds strip them bare #rowan

They look so lovely when they're full of berries.

They do @cee unfortunately mine’s not as full as usual. We had a storm when it was in blossom and the salty windy burned the tree badly so I’m just pleased to see it survive.

The birds have got their eyes on these! Year three and doing well. 🐦 #rowan #mountainash #berries #autumn

The ripening of the berries crept up on me. Thought I’d better get there before the birds 🐦 #rowan #mountainash

They are so much earlier than usual aren’t they? 🤔

Yes Jacqueline @awomanonabike all that sun I suppose. The worrying thing is that the birds will probably eat them now and even if they don’t the berries won’t stay on the trees so long so there will be a shortage of food for them later! If that makes sense!

Even the brambles are in fruit round here. I hope you’re wrong about the birds...

I do too Jacquline @awomanonabike

What a fabulous morning to be setting off on holiday. Taken lots of pics of things about to take off (🤨) most should still be okay when we get back 😀. #rowan getting better every year.

Morning Val , have a super time 👍☺️

Have a great time 😎👍🏻

Have a fabulous holiday Val 😍😍

Thank you @juliesgarden @rosiebug @pelly

Rowan buds looking furry. Doesn’t the blue sky help. Looking forward to seeing it this year, it’s getting established now #newgrowth

Fab pic 👍
