November /autumn afternoon at the Dutch country-side. A duck decoy on on 200m.
A duck decoy is a device to capture wild ducks or other species of waterfowl. Formerly the birds were slaughtered and used for food. More recently they have also been used for ornithological research.
This decoy is surrounded by trees and bushes and located in the Gement Polder between /'s-Hertogenbosch and Vught in the province Noord-Brabant in the South of the Netherlands.
This is a windless Sunday afternoon ( 3-4 pm).
Behind the decoy, on 1 km there is the city of 's-Hertogenbosch. You can hear the far hum of it.
There are a lot of different birds, but al on a distance.
