This is a common sight in ancient oak woodland. As they get older oaks tend to die back and loose branches. They are still an important habitat for a wide variety of insects and small animals and birds. Here this ancient tree is isolated in the field that holds the remnants of the old Premonstratensian Priory. Compare with Image
