Hello George,
Really enjoying looking at your bird photographs. Became interested when we lived in Fair Isle for a couple of years. We lived in the Old Hall which had a bird trap at the back. We used to catch birds before we went to school and put them in a bag until the 'birdman' came to pick them up and ring them. I was only 7 at the time. My daughter is very jealous when I tell her about catching the birds but to us it was just a normal morning. Great days.
Shire.
