Problem is, I'm not getting on with my work! This is way more fun with the boys who are on school holiday.
Will go and pick up the birds later. Don't want to show ourselves in the paddocks yet.
There are two decoys on the right of the tree at the end of the video. The 'pies come to the distress call pretty much immediately, and perch to watch the decoys. Range is around 75-80m. Whack!
After we cleaned up 35 odd in the autumn, there's only a few brave enough to come to these pines now, and we watch them giving the block a wide berth as they fly over neighbouring properties. But the current four birds reckon they're hard case. Well, there's only one left now.
