Definitions for "Fowling"
The hunting of birds. Back to the Top
Fowling is a term which is perhaps better known in The Fens than elsewhere. It was more than the commercial equivalent of the field sport of wildfowling, in that it includes all forms of bird catching for meat, feathers or any other part of the bird which may have been sold on the market at the relevant time. However, it was certainly not confined to The Fens.
