Countryside management students have been using some of the willow they have been coppicing over the past few weeks to create some pheasant traps!
In the new year students will use modern alternatives to these old fashioned traps (which would have been used extensively by gamekeepers in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries) to catch wild pheasants which will then be kept as 'laying stock' to provide eggs for incubation and hatching to give students experience of rearing game birds in preparation for a career in the game management industries.
