BIRDS AND HONEYSUCKLE BERRIES
Every year my honeysuckle, Lonicera periclymenum 'Scentsation' produces beautiful yellow and cream fragrant flowers from spring to autumn when the flowers are replaced by red berries. The berries are enjoyed by Bullfinches, Warblers, and Thrushes, according to the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB - external link). Not only do the birds like them, so do I. The berries look beautiful and bright in the sunshine and even brighten up the dull days of winter.
