Is this a Hazel?

Nice one @Scrungee we just got caught up in the "very pretty tree seedlings"

 

I'll send you the first bottle of Vino Novello once it's ready

Thanks everybody!

 

Silver Birch in my opinion.

 

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

betula pendula seeds - Google Search:

 

Sorry @Scrungee , the bottle of Novello is off.

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

 

Just for info...mystery sapling has small white marks on the trunk....Lenticels.
Typical of Betula.
