Like many others, the only time I’ve ever seen this bird was when I accidentally flushed it looking for other things, and then you only see it from the back as it flies away from you. You’ve also taught me something, an upside down brain, amazing. I love little facts like that, it’s what make nature so utterly fascinating. Keep up the good work. :)Suffolk Naturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00532409772152697977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1087997614866569468.post-71343884485048415182013-11-27T19:03:01.894+00:002013-11-27T19:03:01.894+00:00Congratulation on the Woodcock.Congratulation on the Woodcock.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14614941703303528719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1087997614866569468.post-35103007438051857522013-11-27T02:52:10.675+00:002013-11-27T02:52:10.675+00:00What a great catch!
