Is that blossom this year's Dave? Seems really early - here we just have the lambs tails (catkins) and signs that a few bulbs are coming through the soil.
I knew the following rhyme about spring which mentions the Ash tree Turtle:
If the Oak comes out before the Ash,
the earth will get a splash.
If the Ash comes out before the Oak
The earth will get a soak.
