It is so worrying what is happening to the Transylvanian old-growth wood pastures which once had large herbivores and still have large carnivores such as bears. What nature and wildness and yet not appreciated…

By tracking Pied Flycatchers using geolocators, scientists were able to identify key stop-over points on migration routes
They also found females stayed longer in non-breeding areas, overwintering in areas more westerly than males

By monitoring 1896 Wood Warbler nests across Europe over 10 years, scientists found reproductive success varied by area
BUT the populations with highest reproductive success were not necessarily doing better, suggesting other reasons for their decline

Agree it would be good to see the tree. Perhaps we could arrange to meet at the tree to discuss more fully.

Much damage has already occurred by allowing over shading. The now dead functional columns will decay over time leaving somewhat unstable columns. Irreplaceable habitat should not be sacrificed to unjustified minimum intervention.

Looks like lower limbs are being killed by overshading - a common issue with light demanding oaks. As it’s the oldest and culturally a very valuable pollard, one might recommend some haloing.
