User Comments : The design of the trap makes it extremely versatile. Wildfowl readily take to them when fed with grain. If you don't have a location for Wildfowl then used as a Garden Trap when the weather prevents Mist Netting. The Trap is just as good for catching Finches in Winter or Starling when fed with Kitchen Scraps. We have had 50+ Starlings in a day, not just in winter but also in May and June when the Adults are feeding young. | |||
Species Credits : Most Common UK Ducks, Water Rail, Coot, Moorhen, A Selection of Waders, Sedge Warbler !!!, Carrion Crow, Reed Bunting and most Garden Birds. | |||

The Funnel Gap can be adjusted by repositioning the Tie Points allowing different Species to be targeted. | |||
