We went blackberrying yesterday morning. I took my binoculars along in the hope of seeing some warblers feasting on the berries but not a sign. The only birds I saw were a great tit and 12 mallard on the river nearby.
There were butterflies galore though feasting on the ripe blackberries - speckled wood, small white, lots of commas and red admirals looking pristine. A shame I had left the camera at home!
We collected several pounds of blackberries
We froze loads but some were used to make a blackberry and apple crumble

ohh please stop Robin, you're making me hungry now :-) we went blackberry picking on Sunday and spent the rest of the afternoon over indulging on a crumble just like yours. Life is good in the autumn.
There is something so satisfying about foraging in the countryside and then turning the finds into something delicious to eat - must be the hunter gatherer in us all! Hope you enjoyed your crumble as much as we did :D
