Hi

Any idea what caused / created this

It’s at least a meter off the ground maybe more ???

Might be a long tailed tit nest according to google lens. Plan b is always murder hornets, so go lightly.

Might be a bit big for a long tail tit, should be about 4 inches across by 6 long. 'Moss like' is the right sort of material though. If it is it would have an entrance near the top, probably not too obvious. Must say my first thought was it is the right size and shape for wasps though. we get occasional hornets, but they are not common here, DirtMechanic.

Looking at the link below I would say it's a long tailed tit nest.

I like long tail tits, not only are they pretty little birds that come in small flocks, they 'tell' other sorts of tits about food sources.

I like them too Oliver. I have up to a dozen visiting the bird feeders through winter and they generally turn up when the frosts start.
