I'm just in from a wee nights lamping around one of my permissions. Now, I'm on the land every week or so, but not always right round the back of the farm, which extends to about 1 mile from the main building, and at the back of a wooded hill. Tonight, I noticed what i thought was a large nest up in the "canopy" of one of the trees in the wood. Had a closer look, and it's absolutely huge, with a base made of branches maybe 2-3 inches thick, formed into a " triangle" sort of shape. This "nest" is at least 50 feet up the tree, and from what i could see, the top covering branches have been cleared out to let "whatever" land in the nest with no impediments... It certainly wasnt there a couple of weeks ago,...and there are no marks up the truck of the tree,....and no "litter" round the base of the tree....
I finished the first walk round, and met up with the farmer, he has no idea at all what it is, or who put it there...anyone have a clue???
BTW, I'm in Central Scotland...
1st Pic, a bad close up of the structure..
2nd/3rd pic...the whole tree.
Hoping someone can help with info...
