The edgy elm! 🌳
These striking flowers pop out in early spring across the elm's branches in spectacular pinkish-red clusters. They are hermaphrodites, having both male and female parts.

She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbour:

If you find any dead wild bird (thresholds no longer apply) please report to Defra at gov.uk/guidance/report-dead-… and continue to report to @BirdTrack and Epicollect if you use those systems. Understanding what is happening early in the breeding season is crucial.
