Every year, starting around now, one can watch out to see if any particular species seems like its going to have a good year. So the first of these I have spotted are the cob nuts in the orchard garden
These were planted about six years ago, but have never produced such a display of catkins before. Let’s hope they produce lots of nuts to go with the catkins later on. Right, what next looks like it might have a bumper year?
Oh, as a bonus our resident pond heron is already strutting their stuff, looking very much part of the park!
