Spotted another item from the #winterwatchlist yesterday - Hazel catkins. These are the male flowers of the hazel tree which release pollen - sometimes you see the female flowers alongside them which I believe are more pink and flower like but I’ve yet to see any. I remember when I was a child living in the countryside I always stopped to look at catkins when out on a walk - such a weird shape and an adorable name! They resemble little lambs tails. #hazeltree #treeidentification #wintertrees❄️ #wintertreeid #catkins #hackneyoutdoors #nature #getoutdoors #treasuresofnature #winterwatch https://www.instagram.com/p/CKjFf57BXeA/?igshid=hi8n224d6mc4
