Sorry I haven't picked this up till now. Yes, I can give you templates for the cone and vanes. I will contact you via email with my phone number. Give me a ring and we can sort out what you require.
All the best

Peter et al,
Peter also very kindly sent me a template for the Robinson trap and following subsequent emails and telephone conversations I made one. It can be seen on my website at:
www.tcdigitalphotography.co.uk
and since completion has been in use regularly.
Thank you Peter for your help on this one :clap:

Well done on both the trap-building (and the explanations) and the website, Tony. The photos are excellent. Is there anything you cannot do?!
One or two of the 'rare' birds are not captioned. I'm sure a lot of birders would know them, but what is the godwit, for example?

Hi Ken,
Thanks for the comments - always appreciated. Gallery 1 is the first I worked on and never got round to putting in the titles. However they are, from left to right going down the rows:
Row 1
Bittern Great Grey Shrike Greenish Warbler Night Heron White Headed Duck
Row 2
Long Billed Dowitcher White Storks Common Rosefinch American Robin Squacco Heron
Row 3
Wrykneck Red Breasted Flycatcher Cream Coloured Courser Lesser Yellow Legs Hulme' Yellow Browed Warbler.
The only trouble is you have to go the birds whereas with the moths they come to you. Most were taken in the back garden with one or two taken in Tyneside at Tom Tams.
Thanks again

Whoops.. my 'godwit' was a dowitcher. My only excuse is that I've not seen one for about 20 years!
