Ah, do you mean a ground funnel ?

 

Of the funnel like a ladder trap ?

 

Just to be clear shotgunny either way that is supposed to be an entrance to a large cage, it's not a trap in it's own right.

hi john

sorry i ment it a ground funnel

and on a walk through a permission of mine i saw this chicken wire cage set up with 4 magpies in it but there was no bait left.

Just said id ask and see what you guys use as bait.

Oh and john turns out my brother took the other camera lead to austria with him so i cant upload any pics.

hens eggs are fine.

An old blackbird or songthrush nest with a few quail eggs in side would be deadly
