Berried treasure

 The season of berries is upon us

The Haws on the Hawthorn will turn to a richer reddish brown as they ripen, colouring the whole bush.  
Excellent food for blackbirds, thrushes and woodmice in winter.

Rosehips rich in vitamin C.

Berries of the Wayfaring Tree are not spherical but slightly flattened
 They will turn from green through almost white to red and eventually black - nature's traffic lights - - - sort of.

And Elderberries. 
 
Cooked with apples they make a delicious jelly
