Guelder Rose berries

Fruits and berries for wildlife have done well here this year
Fortunately the heatwave was followed by several days of light rain which prevented the fruits from drying out.

Overnight rain cleared in time for our meet on Sunday 30th July 2017 which turned into a warm and sunny day. The river was slightly higher and faster flowing and fortunately held no trolleys, garden furniture or bicycles this month, although plenty of wayside litter was collected up.
Our work was accompanied this morning by a singing song thrush.
