Lincolnshire Duck Decoy, c1845. Front and end views of the netted tunnel. Wild duck were decoyed into the mouth of the net covering a curving ditch or 'pipe'. A dog was trained to drive the birds to the narrow end where they were caught and killed. This was a common practice on the Fens and Norfolk Broads, with most of the birds sent to London markets for sale.
