Photo: Pierre Huchette / European Tree of the Year Contest
Pictured above is a Cork Oak in Ghisonaccia, France. The tree is a candidate for France's 'Tree of the Year' contest. I include it my birding blog for the following reason. The unusual shape of the trunk of the Corsican cork oak is thought to have been cause by fire, as shown in its calcined heart. The trunk resembles the outline of a bird of prey, spreading its wings. N'est-ce pas?
