    Try a decoy mag as said or try baiting all the compartments with bread or eggs to help catch one first, once you have one it'll work away

    Try a few eggs and put cling film down when you crack one of the eggs.Try to make it look like a nest with one cracked open .The cling film keeps the cracked egg from dripping into the ground so they can see the shine off it.
