Rowan berries
This Rowan, or Mountain Ash, beside the path to Coracle Grove is carrying a really good crop of berries this year.
The Common Rowan, Mountain Ash, Quickbeam or Whitty Tree (Sorbus aucuparia) has flat-topped clusters of creamy white flowers in late spring, these will develop into bright red berries that provide a food source for birds. Its leaves are very similar to the unrelated Ash with each leaf divided into separate leaflets. Found right across the UK, the Rowan is surrounded by superstition - especially in the Scottish Highlands and Islands where they are believed to keep evil spirits away and felling one is considered to bring very bad luck.
