Description: | Cosham, Portsmouth, [England] 'As a result of the high early summer winds in 2002 the topmost branches of a Leylandii were broken off, falling across and obstructing a narrow footpath alongside the railway. The fallen top was seen to contain the nest, which seemed so unusual as to be worth saving, so it was cut out of the tree and brought home. Evidently its weight had contributed to the breaking of the tree. The following day the broken off portion had been thrown over the fence on to the railway land. The location of the nest and the adjacent building site (a small private house development) from which the materials most likely came, are shown on the accompanying maps.'
This nest will be on show in the Animal Architecture display at the Hunterian Museum from May 2007. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | VERTTETRAVES : PASCOR : MH_AA_STANDALONE : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
