The Wasp and the Chicken Berry Bush by suzanne234

The Wasp and the Chicken Berry Bush

A few years ago we had 3 Chickens who used to love the berries of this shrub, which I think is a Snowberry. When the lower berries were gone they would take running jumps up to the higher ones. It kept us amused for hours watching them.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't normally get the berries in August, our weather seems to be causing nature some confusion.
The wasp is actually an unplanned bonus to the shot
Beautiful capture 😊

The story made me smile. I think you're right, the poor old garden plants are a bit confused.

Wonderful! It does seem strange that the berries are ripening so early. I can just imagine the chicken antics ... we kept hens a while ago and I know the things they get up to!

Oh I did smile about the chickens! I have one of these and thought 'so that's what it's called' - then I read it's a snowberry. Must be my age!!

@fbailey Haha, that would have been a bit embarrassing if you ever went to buy another one

Pretty buds, flowers and bokeh too. And the wasps are just everywhere here. Your title had me almost believing the berries were called chicken berries, and I loved the mental image of the chickens jumping up to capture them.
