Hawthorn Berries

Just a few of these left hanging on the trees at Ferrymoor. I spotted this one with a droplet of water from an overnight frost that had started to thaw. These berries are an asset to many birds in the winter months including Redwings, Blackbirds and starlings. The flowers of this tree always appear after the Blackthorn that in turn produces Sloe Fruits.
