The wayfarer

We popped down to the wildlife area to water the  new crab apple tree, and top up the  two small water features. The wild fruits are appearing in great profusion; I think there will be a bumper harvest of blackberries, sloes, and crab apples. Here is one of the many clusters of berries adorning  the Wayfaring  trees (Viburnum lantana). Although pretty  to look at, and attractive  to the birds, the berries would make an unpleasant meal for any wayfaring human, being mildly toxic to us.
