Scary

Re-visited the field with the bird scarer. Changed quite a bit since the last visit. There are now several of these:

Balls which rotate in the wind. Partly shiny and partly scary face.

Over the far side of the field is what looks like a Hawk Kite:

On my side of the field another kite style scarer though it appeared to be a different version to the one I showed in a previous post:

Once again they were doing a great job as I didn't see a single bird on the ground, or even flying anywhere near the field.

Do You See It?

One Sunny afternoon recently we went for a wander down the track between two fields. Something caught my attention. Can you see what I saw?

Apparently fluttering freely in the sky. A bird?

No.

The latest addition to the local farmer's bird scarers. A still doesn't do it justice. It soared around just like a bird of prey. Made of thin, lightweight material its fluttering wings made it look even more realistic. One thing was for sure. There were no birds on the ground anywhere near it. I couldn't see with the naked eye but a very close crop showed it attached to the ground by a very thin, virtually invisible, cord.
