Biggleswade Waxers
Almost drove past these two waxwings in Biggleswade today, feeding on berries next to the main eastcoast railway line. Twenty minutes later they had gone off to roost.
Jack ass !
Amazing rear vision
Amazing skyward vision
Simple catching technique, create two short cut sections of reeds, wait for the jacks to arrive. Flush the bird from short cut 1 to short cut 2, put a net across short cut 1, flush jack back to short cut 1 !
Dogs, dogs, dogs !
