Saturday, 22nd February – bird scarers wanted

The local paper in Hawke’s Bay is advertising for bird scarers for the orchards and vineyards. They have to work from dawn to dusk and need a firearms licence!

The countryside resounds from early morning to the sound of gunshot and automatic scarers. It sounds like a battleground!

This will continue until the last of the grapes and apples are picked in mid-April….
