Signs of Autumn

Monday, September 13th 2010

The signs of autumn's bounty are everywhere. Throughout the reserve the Raspberries have finished and now the Blackberries are glistening in the undergrowth. Elderberries are starting to turn black and the Rowans are all bedecked with red. The Hips and haws are adding their bright colour too.

Little Crab Apples can also be found in a few places. Birds use this time of plenty to fatten up before the winter. As well as fruit there are plenty of grasses which are full of seed and will give them oils and protein.

The damp weather has meant that there is plenty of fungi to see wherever there is dead wood.
