Habitat Potential Value<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As the blackthorn flowers first in spring it provides a valuable source of nectar and pollen for bees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The foliage feeds caterpillars and moths including Lackey, Magpie, Swallow-Tailed and Yellow-Tailed. It is also used by the black and brown hairstreak butterflies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Birds are attracted to the plethora of insects and later on sloes from the Blackthorn.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
