Workshop participants survey the results of the cannon netting demonstration. 

Doug Watkins shows a video demonstrating cannon netting techniques which are used to catch shore birds. 

Conference participants examine equipment that is used in cannon netting. 

Dr Scott Newman explainin the technique of cannon netting to conference participants prior to its demonstration. 

The net is ready to be fired. 

Any birds under the range of the net would be unable to escape in time. 

The three charges detonate simultaneously and the net flies out towards where the birds would be.
