Corylus avelanna (Hazel) catkins with buds ready to pop. There is a great old saying which goes.. when the Hazel buds are as as big as a squirrels toe, the birch sap is good to go.. Each catkin produces around 4 million pollen grains. The catkins are all male and pollenate the female part of the tree - often on the same branch.
