larson catches

[No1ShottySid 0]

I caught this starling and crow in two days after never catching anything else but magpies in my larson trap, just wondering if anyone else has had unusual catches in thier traps? photos would be good.

crow

Its not unusual to catch a crow or two in a larson using a magpie,, Carrion Crows are territorial same as maggy and will come to your larson to see of the magpie,, I have caught a few crows with magpies.

 

As for starlings ive lost count of the ammount i have caught,, Lots of blackbirds to.

Squirrels are another occasional catch and I find that you get non-magpies particularly when the trap is baited rather than decoyed.

 

One of the advantages of this sort of trap is that any unintended catches can be dealt with appropriately with blackbirds, starlings etc being released unharmed. This is another reason why frequent checks on the traps are essential.
