With such a small budget you're looking at a couple of manual traps and I'd say from experience you'll run out of steam fairly quickly. Lads get pi##ed off trapping week after week.
For €1,500 you'll pick up a second hand automatic trap that will give you variable angle birds or you might pick up a second hand pair of sporting traps. With a couple of auto sporters on mobile bases you could set them differently each week. Going away birds, incoming or crossers. You could throw sinlges, on reprt or simultaneous pairs. The possible cobinations are many!
