Today's walk along the edge of my home 1km square turned up two Hazel bushes with male catkins and female flowers. The Cherry Plum (Prunus cerasifera) tree that I visit every year was also just coming into flower (as was the ornamental Plum back home in my back garden). Notable birds consisted of a calling Great Spotted Woodpecker (that edge of the square regularly produces one), a small flock of Siskins and (down near the shops) a flyover Pied Wagtail.
