Wood Pigeon Columba palumbus in dead oak tree during winter
Probably the best known tree in Britain and an important feature of the English landscape. They live for hundreds of years and have always been important for their timber. The wood has been used to build ships, houses and furniture, but is also renowned for its use in casks for maturing wines and spirits. The fruit of the oak tree is the acorn which appears usually in September and is very popular with squirrels. The oak is deciduous but loses its leaves very late in the year.
