#wildflowerID this appears to be mistletoe with red berries. Found today growing out of oak bark in a quiet corner of a Somerset churchyard. Could it be Californian mistletoe, Phoradendron californicum? I haven’t seen that there are UK records for that.

@BSgroggins@cumbriabirds And sometimes they meet their maker.... Visits in our garden today from male and female sparrowhawks. Both successful in their hunts.
@chriscant Yes I’ve usually seen them in mid June at other sites in the Lakes at 2000 feet. I’d read on Twitter that someone had seen them on Hartsop Dodd so went to have a look. There are previous records this date I believe.
