Another clue on the floor.
These are the spent male flowers of the pussy willow or sallow. They have pollinated the female flowers, which stay on the female trees, but when that's done there is no further use for them. The fate of the male of the species.
Look up and you may still see some of them on the tree, with a few remnants of golden pollen.
