Bark stripping

The bark is coming off the two tree trunks from the fallen sycamores which have been left athwart the culvert.

It started to disappear topsides from somewhere around the middle of each trunk, but the loss is now spreading – downhill, rather than up – and beginning to affect the sides.

At first I thought some (presumably nocturnal) animal was probably the culprit – or possibly birds which could use it for nest building. But as it still continues I suppose it is just some kind of natural rain-induced erosion
