This series contains items relating to the Orielton Duck Decoy, compiled by David Saunders. This includes notes on the ringing (tagging and tracking) of the birds and waterfowl which were captured to track the migration of each species which inhabited Orielton and its Lake. Originally the Duck Decoy was used to capture and eat the ducks in the 19th century. Saunders published an article for British Wildlife entitled 'For five shillings this duck can be yours' in 2008 detailing the history of the Orielton Decoy. Ringing schedules are also outlined, with a bulletin series documenting the work at Orielton Duck Decoy pond.One item of significance inclued the Orielton Duck Decoy ring which was found on a dead Teal. This ring is a physical evidence of ringing from Orielton, and its importance cannot be overstated.
