A very pale Woodcock

 

This very pale Woodcock was recently ringed by one of our local ringers (under BTO licence). The great majority of our Woodcock are winter visitors, breeding mostly in Scandinavia or Russia. They are mostly nocturnal, feeding either in woods or out in open fields in the uplands, probing soft earth with their long bills.
