Wiggin Tree

Sorbus aucuparia, commonly know as Rowan or Mountain Ash, but in Wigan (where I come from) as the Wiggin Tree.  It's on the town coat of arms.

Here we have half a dozen trees in a clearing where a beech must have died long ago, and they are all covered in bright red berries.  The berries are very nutritious and all the birds love them.  They will be stripped bare very quickly.

The berries on the viburnum in the extra are not quite ripe yet, but when they are the wood pigeons will balance as well as they can on the spindly branches to eat them too.
