You see this a lot on Ivy berries but haven't seen it being done in Oak trees , maybe if there wasn't many laying on the ground they would resort in taking them from the tree itself.

stumfelter Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) The most acorns in a woody I've shot was 17. I'm sure it's the rspb who claim 150 but I find that ridiculous!
