Willingdon Hill

On my way up Willingdon Hill I came across several extensive patches of Berberis in striking Autumn colour. This invasive species can dominate grassland, but it does produce lots of berries that are popular with thrushes.



The leaves and the berries contribute to the strong colour. 

The spread of the Berberis reminded me of the Red Weed, brought to Earth by the Martians in H.G.Wells' war of the Worlds.

The sunset from Willingdon Hill was quite good. 




The new offshore Rampion wind farm near Newhaven, which is still under construction. When completed there will be 116 turbines.
