The Hawthorn, Rosa rusosa and Viburnum opulus in the garden have made a few berries/hips this year, but the Rowan really struggled in the drought, and what would have been a very good crop has mainly shrivelled on the tree. #fruits #wildflowerhour @wildflowerhour.bsky.social

Obsidentify says this leaf mine is 94% likely to be caused by a Pegomya species (fly). The plant is Fat Hen which makes it very likely to be Pegomya hyoscyami, I think. Any thoughts from those much better qualified? #leafmines #diptera #flies #Chenopodium #fathen #plumpchicken
