Signs of late summer

This afternoon we went for a walk through the local wildlife area. It is definitely  showing signs of late summer with ripening elderberries, black berries,sloes,  fruits of the guelder rose, and these fruits  of the wayfaring tree (Viburnum  lantana). They turn from green, through red, to dull black, as they  mature. I like the look of them best when they are still  shiny red, as here. 
I noticed that the fruit on the  Mirabelle plum trees has all disappeared. I hope birds had  them, rather than humans.
