Well, now it is interesting. I don't think I have ever seen Witch's brooms here but I suppose it is here. I had no idea it was a disease until you pointed the way. Thanks for the answer. And thanks for the visit.
Hi Dick, Did you post the wrong link? I was completely lost until I read Abe's comment. I thought they were squirrel's nest also. So then I googled Witch's Broom and got a Wikipedia link on it. Interesting post! Yes, I visited everyone on Mr. Linky!
Well, you learn something new everyday - we see them here, but I'd never heard them given a name; sometimes they are difficult to tell apart from crows nests or mistletoe at a distance.
Really like the graphic contrast of the shot, Dick.
It is really a lot of interesting but also beautiful spectacle. I would be put under oath that it is a usual tree with a lot of nests of birds, from some part of my country, where exist many. The answer is different, but again gained is... something learned and today!
Very cool. Nice photo. We do have Witches brooms here in some kinds of trees. I've seen them, but not like that, nicely seen and captured. Very interesting.
Wow what interesting photo - at first I thought squirrel nests, but not, it must be something else, I don't think squirrels would nest that close, may be vulture nests. Anna :)
Thank you for your comments, I thought "Witch's Brooms" are known all over the world and the picture speaks for itself but it didn't. Please check the link and you know all about it. (Imac) Their brooms are there for a long time, maybe they can't find the way back to the parking. It's better not to go in that forest at night.

It is hard for me to tell what these are but in this country I would say they are summer squirrel nests.

Dat ziet er nog eens bijzonder uit. Het lijkt wel een heel netwerk van verbindingen...
Unusual sight! I find I'm looking "Up" more these days!!! Have a great picture day today!

I thought - what a lot of nests - but then I read the comments - guess I'd better go back and check that link and find out more.
Prachtig Dick. Bijna angstaanjagend. Het is iets om kleine kinderen bang mee te maken, met zo'n aantal "Heksebezems".
Wow! A Very neat shot! Great perspective!

Ahh, thought of Rooks nests 1st.
great capture. Witch way did they go? lol
Around here we call this "Magpie's nests." I have been told that it is some disease of the tree.
Great catch.
wow. I like your photo way better than the wikipedia one. It is awesome. The way you shot it, it does look like the work of witches.
I've never heard of it but my husband says he has.
what a shot. very interesting shapes
I come across these a lot, some of them are massive others only the size of a soccer ball.
Very cool. Nice photo. We do have Witches brooms here in some kinds of trees. I've seen them, but not like that, nicely seen and captured. Very interesting.
The url worked fine for me--why don't you use the link thing, it would be easier for people.
Cool image. Are they nests or some sort of lichen?
Wow, that is so cool looking. I've never heard of witch's broom. I'm going to the website now to look it up. Thanks.
