Clapper,

During the war thousands of starlings were netted in Norfolk , plucked, dressed and shipped in cardboard boxes to the London poultry markets. The final stage before shipping was to choose which rubber stamp to apply - “Snipe”, “Plover” or “Quail”.

Young Rooks in season were a country staple food well before the Wars, going back at least to Victorian times.

Yes, the only time that I shot Rooks properly with a .300 Army and Navy the 80 grain hollow points opened up and spoilt a lot of breast meat.
