The sheer abundance of cherry and plum tree blossom this year is so spectacular that it was featured on the local TV news last night.
The photos, taken just now on a nearby footpath, are of Prunus Spinosa aka Blackthorn. Hopefully there are enough pollinators around to ensure plenty of sloes (blackthorn fruits) next September.
They taste unbearably bitter but are used to flavour sloe gin, which is delicious.

A blackthorn bush/tree with more densely packed blossom than I've ever seen.
