Noun

bramble net (plural bramble nets)

(archaic, rare) A net to catch birds.
- 1845, Sylvester Judd, Margaret: a Tale of Real and Ideal:
  She is no Priapus to drive the birds away; but as if she was a bramble-net, their notes are caught in her ears, even if their feet are not seized by her fingers as they winnow the air, wheel, dive, and dally about her.
