Anyway, today we cycled past our hedgerow so I suggested we make a quick pit stop to see what's changed. We drive past on an almost daily basis and at a quick glance it never looks any different but actually close up it's quite a different story.
Horse Chestnut
Some leaves have orange patches but there are no conkers (no photo)
Hawthorn
An abundance of red berries
Bramble
Plenty of blackberries
Dog Rose
Orange rosehips
Blackthorn
A smattering of sloes (no photo)
Holly
There are green berries
Field Maple
Looks very much the same (no photo)
Dogwood
There were clusters of black berries
Unidentified
Possibly Leycesteria Formosa, known as Himalayan Honeysuckle
