1886 Payne-Gallwey, R. The book of duck decoys. Their construction, management, and history
We are indebted to Simon Holloway for making this known to us. While not discussing bird species, pages 150 and 151 are especially relevant to Shropshire with brief descriptions of decoys at Oakley Park near Bromfield, Sundorne east of Shrewsbury and that near Aston close by the River Perry – for which see also Plymley (1803).
