This rather attractive scarecrow was to be found in the back of a van, parked with its rear facing towards the road and one of its rear doors open.
As well as the traditional scarecrow, a nicely designed backcloth gives it a rural feel.
There was an interesting challenge with this one as well - to count how many butterflies there were on the scarecrow. Before you ask, I've no idea how many there were, we didn't stop to count them.
The traditional scarecrow in a farmers field is now a relatively rare sight, and they tend to be confined to allotment gardens and scarecrow festivals, though until a few years ago it was possible to see one in a farmers field to the south-west of York when heading that way out of York by train.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
The people who created this scarecrow are regularly involved with the scarecrow trail. I remember their use of the van in previous years.
