Not a term of derision or a light hearted jibe at someone with wayward morning hair but me getting up close to some fresh seedheads of Coltsfoot along the bank by the Shooting Butts Hide. Almost the first to flower and now over for another year with just the newly emerging leaves to show that it was ever there. It gets it name from the shape of these leaves and their resemblance to the hoof of a horse. Why Colt was chosen over Horse, Mare of Foal I am not sure?!
