My new garden has a beautiful yellow catkin. I have no idea which
species it is. It's much brighter yellow tan any I seen before.

Any guesses?

I know that would help but I don't have a suitable camera.

Mobile Phone? Better than nothing. The Birch trees here are looking superb
at the moment, covered in catkins.

The tree has a creamy white trunk about three inch wide and thin brown
twigs all the way up. The catkins are about two inch long. The leaves
are tiny.

The reason I can't provide details is that I'm restricted to looking
at the tree from a window due to a disability. It also prevents me
taking a picture as I can't get to the tree.

All we needed, was the detail you've given. From the trunk colour,
it's a birch. The catkins are the male flowers.

If the trunk is REALLY creamy it's probably betula jacquemontii which
does have rather larger catkins than silver birch.
