Birch bark glowing in winter sunshine. Silver birch is not the only colour. Birch naturally comes in many beautiful shades ranging from white to deep reddish brown bark, in the UK, not including the special cultivars and imported species. Yesterday this golden sapling caught my eye in a local woodland in Aberdeenshire. The papery bark was translucent and the low winter sun illuminated the little tree. Such details lift a day. We hope you find your mini woodlands wonder today. -

Scots pine, blue sky full of wild geese calling, breezy day, Aberdeenshire. What could be better? -

Woodpecker holes. -
-
Walking round the woods, have a look at old standing stumps of dead trees. These holes have been made by woodpeckers. Dead wood is not 'dead', but often full of grubs and insects, perfect food for many birds. -

Hazel catkins in the breeze. Now is the time to spot the earliest tree flowers in the UK, hazel, which hazel, willow. The start of hayfever for some people, this can be a lovely sight but a mixed blessing. How many tree blossoms have you seen so far? -

Last of the winter tree shapes. -
-
Take advantage of these last few days and weeks to look up and see clear silhouettes of trees. Here an oak zig zags its way across a clear morning sky. While I took this photo today, two jays flitted between the trees and a woodpecker was at work hammering for grubs in the tall stump of a nearby semi hollow Turkey oak. -

Sky silhouettes are a great way to learn tree IDs for mature specimens. Trees species have their own outline when looked at from the side. But when we are lucky enough to be standing under a great tree it is good to notice how the limbs branch, feather, fan out or cluster. Soon all this will be full of buds and fuzzy leaves. Enjoy it while you can. -

Storms Ciara and Dennis are causing huge amounts of flooding all over the UK and our hearts go out to those suffering flooded homes and businesses. For those affected it's a huge problem, and getting more common by the year due to anthropogenic atmospheric heating causing climate breakdown. More frequent higher winds and heavier rain are two of the most obvious effects of upcoming changes. -
-

Huge efforts to plant a trillion trees worldwide could really help mitigate this. Though it's late winter, it's not too late to do our bit and get some UK trees in the land, prune and protect trees prone to wind damage if possible. Also don't forget, woody shrubs, hedges and bushy trees are just as good at sequestering carbon from the atmosphere as their taller stemmed neighbours. It has been estimated that roadside and roundabout planting alone accounts for a good-sized forest's worth of carbon capture in each county. -

Here a semi-fallen tree has been incorporated into the growth of another. The pressure between them forced an accommodation. Tree-work on situations like this can be tricky, due to the tensions held in weighted, twisted growth. But to the casual woods-walker, conjoined trees are an interesting sight. -

Western red cedar in a British woodland. Though non-native, such trees were collected and planted by Victorians. They are sometimes now found in arboretums and parks and are a welcome sight in the woods. They can be prone to rot at the base, but the holes make great homes for wildlife. Here a forester has clearly marked this one 'do not cut'. Sometimes a can of spray paint can be a good tool for ecological protection. -
