    I think the blossom on this page is Blackthorn (sloe). Blackthorn blossom comes out before the leaves as in this picture – I can only see a few green buds. Hawthorn blossom is synchronous with the leaves. Also blackthorn has conspicuous thorns, often up to an inch long – many are visible in this shot.
    I grant May is rather late for blackthorn especially in the mild SW.

    • Thank you very much – that all makes sense (and interesting) and in fact my post date is a few weeks after the event for photo editing. I’ll make the changes in a few days when I’m home….

Whether you have comments on the photos, some knowledge or a personal story on this area you’d like to share, or you’ve spotted a typo or error, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
