Monday 7th March - Woodcock

...again tonight just after 6.30pm as it was getting dark and the Blackbirds had finished their song and chinking, I went outside and the Woodcock flew over my head and down the length of the garden, although not calling this time - probably one that's escaped the local guns this Winter and must be daytime roosting either in the roadside strip of trees or the copse on the opposite side of the road..
