Still Waters Posted October 5, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2012 t sounds like the ideal job - the chance to sit down, read a book and perhaps idly strum a ukulele. But Bangor University graduate Jamie Fox has to do it in all weathers, as a human scarecrow in a field in Norfolk. Mr Fox, 22, has been employed to scare partridges from a field of oilseed rape at Aylsham because conventional birdscarers have not worked. As well as wearing a bright orange coat, Mr Fox uses an accordion and a cowbell to frighten the birds. http://www.bbc.co.uk...orfolk-19846642 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Waters Posted October 5, 2012 Author #7 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I wonder if he takes a packed lunch with him. He better watch out if he does, that'll attract the birds 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldorado Posted October 7, 2012 #15 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Halloween will be here soon. A scarecrow coming to life suddenly really scares the neighborhood kids. Not in my neighbourhood. There'd be straw and teeth strewn across the street. Poor scarecrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
