Catkins +2 Pips

Catkins +2 Pips
A grey early February day at Steart on the Somerset coast brightened by the sight of Hazel Catkins in the hedgerow,
Note the wall built of pebbles from the shorline, many others in area are built by the same method.

HFF and a good safe weekend to everyone.

Roger (Grisly) club has replied to tiabunna club
Many thanks George, hay fever sufferers will know them, they are mainly male flowers from many species of trees and are full of pollen which blows in the breeze with the hope of landing on a female and the result is a nut.
