The Sea Buckthorn(Hippophae rhamoides) is a native shrub of coastlines but is not too common these days. the berries are rich in vitamin c and are vital food for birds. Here common starlings (Sturnus vulgarus) strip them in no time. The starling itself is not as common as it used to be.
I have seen many young green woodpeckers(Picus viridis) with their parents over the last few weeks. One can get closer to them than usual.
