tree tops
dave okonski asked about the tree tops i photographed the other morning
i'm not sure what kind of tree they are, or if the clumps are "built" nests
looking again this afternoon, it appears that the boughs were pollarded, then whole dense bunches of new twigs sprouted, and finally all sorts of dead leaves and twigs have got caught up
they'd certainly be colonized by nesting birds, but such nests are usually devastated by predatory magpies
cheers, dave
