Duck decoy

An arrangement of nets and poles over a small inlet to lure ducks into a closed area where they can easily be caught. There is an example of a decoy in Abbotsbury Swannery that was originally used to provide food for the monastery, but is now used to catch ducks for ringing. It may be the oldest surviving duck decoy in England.
