Richard, thanks and for fav. Just in case you think I was climbing trees to take mistletoe shots, I'd like to say that this is the first low tree with mistletoe on it that I've seen!
Mistletoe is a parasite and grows on other trees. Said to favour apple trees but I don't know if that's true. Very unusual to find it on a low tree and it mostly makes large round balls high up in branches. I think this tree is some sort of fruit tree. I'm fascinated by mistletoe!

That I don't know - think there is a link with Druids, spirits etc......
