Salt burn

Large parts of Scotland got hit by fairly extreme spring time storms on Tuesday. On the west coast, the wind was laden with salt, and this has had a big impact on young vegetation

The fronds of this fern are blackened, withered and droopy

These hazel leaves look as if Autumn has arrived already, all yellows, browns and muted greens
Blackened & withered ash
This year's growth on the oak tree is still clearly green, however the leaves are all black and shrivelled.
