Changing Birch

These are the days you want to be out in any natural or semi-natural area, seeing the changes that happen daily.


Honeysuckle climbs towards the light from the wood floor, preferring the birch with thin, twiggy growth near the base.


More birch are putting out leaves drawn by the extra light - sunrise this morning about 5.40. Very soon the bare branches we've got used to over recent months will be all but forgotten.


Catkins may dominate certain trees while on others you're hardly aware of them. On this birch they are all on one side, that facing the morning sun giving an unbalanced look.


Other trees are more evenly covered.
