What a Automatic Scarecrow looks like

This is what an automatic scarecrow looks like out in the fields around Arreton.  Great for Gun dog training for our Pippa, she just sits there as it goes off, but if she sees a cyclist a mile away, she is off after them "Still mad as a box of frogs" but we would not be without her
