It's February and according to the textbooks Hazel catkins appear right now. This little tree near to my house has obviously been reading the book because it was covered in these pale yellow catkins. These are the male flowers, the female flowers are small red tufts; pollination is by wind.
It's quite reassuring when at least something arrives on schedule these days!!
