This trap could ruffle some feathers !

As I could only find a limited amount of natural cordage I thought I'd be smart and make a bird trap that used less cordage than the Arapuca Bird-Trap.......I soon found out that the Arapuca was a popular trap for a reason !

This was my poor effort, I did trigger it and it appeared to work pretty well. I'm not sure if a bird would figure out how to crawl out or whether they would remain in the trap and just keep attempting to take off ?

The moss was just to add some needed weight as I ran out of cordage and so couldn't tie anything on !

No prizes for guessing my knife today, lol...

I left the trap ( not set ! ) and headed up to some higher ground with the girls~

Snicker checking out the views~

Some rain clouds looked to be rolling in so we made our way back down~

Maisy had to stop and play in what might be the last snow of the year !

Looks like you had some fun, and took in some great views. I love moss. Been a while since I thought about the arapuca, thanks for the reminder .

Great trap! I really need to stop makign excuses and start following some of your fine examples.

Those skies looked amazing, out over the water. A real, fresh air photo that one, can almost smell it.
Looks like it got grey real quick though.

If you catch a Chocolate Lab in that trap, it's probably mine. She loves bread.
