        Definitely not Corylus avellana.. common name Hazel.
        Definitely not Alnus glutinosa...common name Alder.
        Leaf shape not right for these.

        My money is on Betula sp...a birch .
        Not even going to make a suggestion as to which one it might be!
        Wind blown seeds grow easily...especially in sandy soil.
        Seeds..see link

          But if anyone wants to come camping in my birch grove in about 50 years time, you are most welcome :biggrin:
