While wandering through an orchard that hosts a game shoot in season the two Jack rule Terriers got all excited about this, a Larsen Trap with the attractor, in this case a magpie set-up and ready to go. The next morning the trap had gone so the gamekeeper had, quite sensibly, moved the apparatus on to another area being marked out as territory and a nesting site. Later this month the keeper will be tracking the Carrion Crows having reduced the breeding population of magpies before they start laying their eggs.
The songbirds and game birds in the orchard now have a bit more of a chance of raising a brood of chicks thanks to the inventive genius and scientific mind of a Danish gamekeeper called Larsen.
Strangely the two terriers got all excited about the decoy and walked away and recommenced their prime directive, rat hunting.
