What were you spraying ... something to sort the weavers out or something to support the crop?

Both. AvianControl is a new registered product very effective to reduce weavers damage in wheat fields.

I have no idea who took this picture or when and where it was taken. I believe a copy of it used to hang on the wall in the reception of an AMO somewhere in the Free State. Perhaps somebody can shed some light on it for us.

How else do you get the ground staff to the next spray site :wink: :lol:

My guess is that this pic was taken in Tanzania .. the reg on the tail seems to start with 5H .. and the huts/reed fencing in the background does not look like SA
