Fruitful Fryent earlier today

A cascade of hawthorn berries

A stroll in Fryent Country Park earlier today revealed what appeared to be a bumper crop of fruits. Such abundnace used to be seen as a sign of a harsh winter ahead.  Some of the fruit bushges and trees are in the ancient hedgerows of the park, some in the Orchard at Bush Farm and some were planted by the Barn Hill Conservation Group.

I have posted a photo gallery of images below. Click on the image to enlarge it.

Thank you, Martin, for some lovely photographs, reminding us of the natural (with some encouragement from conservation volunteers) beauty on our doorstep.
