#White #Willow (Salix alba) on #River Teme, #Worcestershire. The #local #dialect name for #catkins was gulls, from gullet ‘an unfledged gosling’ because of their downy appearance. From a long list of alternatives from elsewhere, I particularly like Goosey-Goslin(g)s from neighbouring #Shropshire; and further afield, Tibby-lamb’s tails in #Devon. #Tree #Pollen #Flower #Cats #Geese #Lambs #TreesOfMastodon
