Tiny twigs

This tree was pollarded again a few days ago. I didn't notice when it happened, but the light was good enough for a picture today. Pretty much all the branches that grew last year have been removed and just a few remain. You can clearly see the little platform that forms a case for a bird's nest.

The mornings and evenings are starting to feel a little lighter now and though it's been a bit cold and wet, things are starting to feel more like spring.
