I attach a photo of the `dressed` spreader bar made by Tightchoke, now complete with cammo and decoys.

What it didn`t allow me to upload (file too large` etc.) was a photo of the `bare` spreader showing Dave`s excellent workmanship.

A slight modification to Dave`s prototype, I`ve epoxied a nut into each decoy such that they are not permanently fixed but tightened with a locknut so that the decoys can be stored in my lofting pole bag.

Thanks again Dave and I will give them a try next week where I`ve got a small shave of trees yet in leaf, alongside a field of `hammered` rape.

Haven`t had time to put the eyelashes on them yet.............. or cut the grass

Morning Chris ..... They certainly look the part but you might get better results if they were showing above the hedge 😉, also this time of the year , instead of having two looking as if they are waiting for the divorce papers to come through the ( male ) box , why not try one trying to tread his companion like they are constantly doing in my garden .

Joking aside , we will be looking forward to see how the Pigeons will react when perched on some old Ash dieback trees that can be used all the year round , any device that bring your quarry into range is worth giving it a go and no doubt like most of the stuff we use we find that rarely two days are the same , one day you think you have cracked it and the next you wander how it all went wrong .

GOOD LUCK .

Chris, glad it all came together, hopefully they bring in the WPs and prevent your picnic sessions.
