Sparrow prevention program still working a treat. Dad and I built this 30 years ago. Have had lot of kestrels raised in the shed eating the mice, chasing the sparrows and the odd gangly teenager walking around the workshop floor after flight 1.0 didn't quite go to plan.

The next time you think city people don’t care about agriculture, just remember that a Melb based year 12 student contacted me this week because she wants to study (and trial!) salt tolerance in wheat. How cool is that!!! Might be coming your way soon @agronomeiste 👍
