  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.

Duck Trap Extraction Door Starling Funnel

Duck Trap Extraction Door Starling Funnel - DTA01

  Description : An accessory to drop into the Open Extraction Door made from the same Wire Mesh as the Duck Trap. This adaptation was designed specifically for Starlings when large flocks drop in to feed and can double the number of birds entering the trap in a given time. The adaptation does not restrict the normal Entrance Door and simply lifts out to allow Extraction of the birds. The Funnel Gap can be adjusted by repositioning the Tie Points allowing different Species to be targeted.

User Comments : This accessory has been very successful but you will find the smart birds using it as an exit.

Instruction sheet also supplied.  The Small Potter Traps are suitable for Finches and Thrushes although Moorhen,  Coot and Wood Pigeon have been caught in them too.  The Large Potter Traps are ideal for Species of size such as Coot, Mallard and Wood Pigeon.

  User Comments : A typical Potter Trap with a twist.  It can be Stored Flat. The Design also allows 2 Traps to be put back to back and baited allowing the birds to pass through.  Once they have got used to passing through the traps the backs can be closed and the Traps Set.

User Comments : This Trap was developed in our Garden as an alternative to Mist Netting when windy.  We found that it did take some time for the birds to get used to the trap but once the food was found the trap was regularly used.  We have also tested the Trap at a Woodland Feeding Station and caught within 2 hours of being set up.

  Species Credits : Woodpecker, Tits, Sparrows, Finches and Buntings.
