Notes: "This book looks at the working and history of decoys, from the days when thousands of birds could be trapped in a season, through the decline in catches due to disturbance, drainage and firearms, to the last commercial operation in 1968. It brings the story up to the present day, when only four duck decoys remain in full working order, their role now changed so that birds are caught for ringing." Shire Album no.361. (NOT about carved wooden decoys).
