Hiya SC
Photo 2 is supposed to be the comparison between the hawthorn berry picked yesterday and the sloe picked today, I didn't get a picture of the blackthorn itself.
Photo 3 is just some random berry

There's no such thing as a random berry - you need to be able to identify them, especially if you want to pick sloes to eat!!
I think Photo 3 is Cherry Laurel - not to be eaten!!

Photo 1 hawthorn
photo 3 privet - poisonous
photo 4 cotoneaster - poisonous
photo 5 & 6 spindle tree - poisonous
edit - 3 could be cherry laurel I suppose, but they don't usually drop their leaves to that extent, unless it's been smothered by undergrowth.

Hello Folks
Any ideas? I cleared some brambles today and a few clumps of these are spread around the area.

I'd go with that, but I'm pretty clueless.
Has Anyone Seen the Plot?
