As part of our Nature Detectives topic, Nile went to the woods and identified trees today, using the leaves and buds.  We found hawthorn, ash, rowan and hazel.

We did struggle with one type of tree in the picture above.  We filmed it for Mrs Todd and she identified it as ash.

You can see the tiny leaflets in the photo and video, all curled up like moss, ready to open into the 13-leafletted leaf!
