[QUOTE="rhiwfield, post: 88306, member: 924"]Bought these at a rural Wales auction (which coincidentally saw some eye watering hammer prices on many lots). First two birds ( duck? half size and swan? 1/3rd size) look scratch built/carved, bird of prey (full size/damaged wing) looks more professional (has no means of fixing to a pole if used for scaring), last (ducks 1/4 size) looks mass market and possibly for garden use. Unsure what to look for and would appreciate any comments on use and species. Thanks, Steve.
