For instance, near Delft the owner of the now-lost Pasgeld residence, Pieter Teding van Berkhout (1643-1713), who indulged in hunting and catching finches and thrushes on his estate grounds, mentions in his diary in 1686 the first ducks to reside in his duck (decoy) pond.

From the 1,000 to 1,500 decoys that once existed, in 2008 only 113 remained. (Engels) | |||
