UK - Barnsley - Scarecrow and garden wall

A scarecrow guards crops and plants by a Gloucestershire country garden dry stone wall. The human figure has been made of straw and fabric, a cloth hat and the form of a blackbird on its head. It stands against the stone wall at the boundary of land in this Cotswold garden, near Cirencester. A scarecrow or hay-man is a decoy or mannequin in the shape of a human. It is usually dressed in old clothes and placed in open fields to discourage birds such as crows or sparrows from disturbing and feeding on recently cast seed and growing crops. As its name suggests, it scares away crows (and other species) from a field.
