Ah more visitors.

OK I think the girl has spotted me.

Stay still.

Look ‘countryside’..

And remember; don’t smile.

It always freaks people out when you smile.

Hm … I like smiling though.

I know, I'll play it by ear.

See how it’s going, and if it seems OK I’ll give her a cheeky grin.

Oh she’s coming over!

Right. Time to turn on the ol’ scarecrow charm.

I think it's safe to say that didn’t go very well.

I really shouldn’t have smiled at her like that.

Always freaks humans out.

Every time.

Every damn time.

...

...

...

I have literally no idea how I ended up in this mess in the first place.

It feels like I have been stuck here in this field forever.

Must have been built here a long time ago.

To be honest with you, I think I might be weird.

Jay Leffew said "I don't often laugh out loud, but this did it for me. After Worzel Gummidge, and the one on the sweet advert, it's pretty obvious they are really alive, and, shucks, it ain't fair the way people treat these useful beings! Thanks for this bit of fun."
