This is on the towpath side of the Llangollen Canal near Ellesmere. I've never seen one anywhere else. What is it?

A white wooden post with an entirely pointless sculpture made of steel attached to it ?

Yes, it's more the purpose of the bulbous steel-mesh protuberance hanging off of it that I'm puzzled about.

There is quite a lot of rust coming down off the nuts on the other side so its been there for a little while.
The post/pile seems to be genuine as it has a protective strap around the top so I'd go with it being some sort of themed sculpture. For some reason it reminds me of bees.

Also the little round bit at the bottom right of the post might be a clue. Is it some sort of lighting installation ?

Bollocks, I think it is made to keep someone's nads contained.

It's a Farting Post, donated to British Waterways by the organizers of the the last Great Farting Contest at Shitham-on-Tees in honour of the winner, who was, at the time, PA to the Board member responsible for coming up with the idea of turning BWB into a charity.

So the obvious question is what animal life does it refer to? There is a fairly limited number of options for that because fish are not animals. Is it meant to be a water vole? Maybe its open to interpretation
