Along the Bóithrín
This little Boithrin* leads from my street through to the main road - and the 'bus stop. Today it was heavily scented - elder flowers at the beginning and wild roses in the hedgerow, all basking in the very warm sunshine.
The hedge is mainly Hawthorn with bits of Bramble, Briar, and Mahonia - probably donated by the birds. Behind the hedge there are 20 huge Horse Chestnut trees.
I often use this location as part of the 'Going Wild for 30 days' campaign as - apart from the flora it is also a good source of fauna - birds, squirrels, bees, butterflies etc.,
