. . . and you'd be hard-pushed to find a shag's nest that didn't have some creel rope incorporated into the structure. Looking forward to seeing this one happening.
As to rubbish in nests...in not too many days, I'll be floating a river with many, many Osprey nests. In ranch country here, nylon rope is used for many things, and said rope seems to come mostly in two shades - bright orange, and bright blue. Osprey seem unable to resist incorporating this rope into their nests, and there are a number of nests along the river than have substantial lengths of rope trailing down from them - in one case, I would estimate as much as fifteen feet. Whatever works, I guess...!
