Squirrel Nests

I believe the bundle of leaves in the centre of this photo is a squirrel nest - a drey. It will be lined with finer things like moss and pineneedles. They're used to keep warm and to presumably have babies (in June, apparently in January it is preferable to have a hollow in a tree). Lots are becoming obvious now the leaves are falling.
