The pussy willow catkins in the spring are something I've completely missed in previous years but 2017 has been the time I have paid attention.
The trees are growing leafy again; I'd hazard a guess that about 50% are in leaf at present and the remainder will follow in the next three weeks. LEAVES! GREEN TREES AGAIN!
Hawthornes growing leafy too. Hedgerows are springing into life now instead of looking dead
I hope that you have been enjoying the leaves returning to the landscape too
