Sorbus aucuparia

Years ago a passing member of the family - Turdus merula (Blackbird) - passed overhead. It may have been a comment on the state of the garden at that time or perhaps he/she just may have been unable to stop it... He dropped his deposit.
Amongst the debris was a seed. It fell. It was nurtered by nature and, as such, it developed. The resulting tree is here to stay! Thank you Blackbird. Though, the sound of your song in the gathering gloom is reward enough! I do not begrudge for one moment the berries that your ancestors enjoy...

The position of the tree would in ideal circumstances, have been a foot or so to the left; But who am I to complain? I can live with it!
