In that location, Tutsan (Hypericum androsaemum) and Fly honeysuckle (Lonicera xylosteum) were in flower with Rosebay willowherb (Epilobium hirsutum) coming into bud.  Lavish supplies of Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) berries were starting the ripen. The alien Snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus) was also in flower. Flea beetle (Phyllotrecta sp) larvae were chewing up the leaves and flies (Chloromyia formosa) were sunning themsleves. A green orb spider (Araniella cucurbitina) waited.
