How big are the berries? Ditto for the tree. Do you have a close-up of the
berries? I would normally copy the image and enlarge it in IrfanView, but
flickr won't allow the image to be copied and I can't find a way round the
protection.

But in the absence of any other info I reckon Janet's suggestion of one of
the rowans is as good as any.


I've enlarged the picture of the berries....

Tree was small, probably 6ft tall, maybe more, I couldn't get too close due
to the steep sided mountain stream between us. Berries, about mid rowan
sized.

Well, I still go with a Sorbus.

Mind you, someone in a different NG (I was asking about copying flickr
images) came up with the hilarious comment that as the tree was growing
not that far from Sellafield it could be a mutated potato!
