Though as with most predators, I've got to admit to a slight admiration for their adaptability and ingenuity.

I do, and actually last week I saw a pair of Crows round the trap mobbing the decoy bird 3 mornings on the trot, but they weren't going in (I have a catching trap sat on top of the Larsen too which accounts for most catches). I'm very limited to how far this trap can be moved so I put it onto an old upturned water trough which lifted it no more than 18 inches. Next morning both Crows were caught, one in the Larsen and the other in the catcher :thumbs: .

Spot on........could never understand it myself. I can move it a fair bit in the rearing field(when i done it) and i used to move it from one end of the field to the other or work corner to corner. Soon realised that moving it no distance at all the buggers were straight in....... :toast:

Is it the "Larsens mate" you are using above it......cracking piece of kit that. Very handy for catching problem birds.......... :angel:

Yeh, it is a larsens mate trap, and I'm going to make a few more as soon as I get chance, they're certainly a good addition.

And I've heard they can be useful for those 'problem ;) ' birds.
