An Sceach Gheal

Tá sceach gheal ar phríomhthor na bhfálta sceach in Éirinn. Tá na bláthanna bána atá aici fíor-álainn san earrach, agus cothaíonn siad mórán inveirteabrach neachtair-chothaithe. Soláthraíonn na caora, ar a dtugtar sceachóirí, foinse thábhachtach bia do mhórán speiceas, agus meallann siad na healtaí sacán ó áiteanna chomh fada leis an gCríoch Lochlann.

Hawthorn

Hawthorn (or whitethorn) is Ireland’s main hedgerow shrub. Its white flowers make a wonderful sight in spring, and sustain many nectar-feeding invertebrates. The berries, called ‘haws’, provide an important food source for many species, even attracting flocks of fieldfares from as far as Scandinavia.
