Mouths start watering when we see the bilberries in such profusion. But hold on, these are just the flowers. It's easy to be deceived by the globular pink shapes all over the moor. Try taking one apart and you realise it's hollow with the flower parts clear to see inside. But the signs are good for a crop of berries in July and August.
I can't remember seeing this whitebeam last year.
It's close to another that was reduced in size by SWT's cattle two years ago. Deer too are liable to eat young trees but they somehow lack the crude industrial willpower of cattle.
