I thought the white bark of these Silver Birch trees made a pleasing photo against the blue sky.
Birch wood is tough and heavy making it well suited for furniture, and it was once used to make hardwearing bobbins, spools and reels for the cotton industry.
The Silver Birch can grow up to 100 ft. and provides food and habitat for 300 insect species. Woodpeckers and other hole-nesting birds often nest in its trunk while its seeds are eaten by siskins, greenfinches and redpolls.
