greenshank1 406 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 This was woodcock I came on in the beech wood a couple of winters ago. They are bonny wee birds with amazing cammoflage. I've got another one somewhere I'll have a look . 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greenshank1 406 Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 This is the second pic . I think the beech woods hold them as less snow gets under them and the deep leaf litter is probobly good feeding 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nik_B 3,790 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 How did you get so close to it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greenshank1 406 Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Glad you liked them. I got close , Just slowly, To be honest these two looked like they had come in on the previous nights full moon and looked pretty tired and with heavy snow everywhere else they were more interested in feeding. I didn't flush them, just got the pics and left them to their worms. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

greenshank1 406 Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Your right !! Just checked my pics file The second was too out of focus. I do have a third image somewhere that was being pointed with a german short haired pointer but it was in the pouring rain and a bit out of focus but I'll try and find it.
