A Berry Bright Riverside Walk

 I did my regular litter picking, wildlife recording walk along Edinburgh's Water of Leith this morning. It was a lovely morning, the sunshine looking lovely through the late Summer leaves

I was delighted to find this clump of Cuckoo Pint, which oddly I've never noticed before. 

 

I often see the berries at this time of year, but rarely see the arums. Luckily the clump above is in quite a memorable location so I hope to be able to find the arums in the spring. Wikipedia has a good page about this fascinating plant, along with a photo of the arum stage.
