Disappointing for May

Friday turned out to be much the same as the last few days, mostly cloudy and cool. The weather over the last few days has been disappointing for May. This month has not managed to reproduce the pleasant temperatures of April.

We went to Fairburn Ings RSPB reserve for a walk and it was the wild roses that stole the show from the birds. Along the walk there were lots of wild roses on flower and a sprinkling of foxgloves.

There were far more white roses than pink. Both are very pretty.

Just like garden plants though these wild roses have to fight of the ravages of pests. This lone caterpillar was looking menacing on one of the wild rose bushes.
