Close encounter of the bird kind

Normally you only see Woodcock as they fly up from almost under your feet, luckily I saw these before they flew away.


other sizes: small medium large auto

Really great shot.
Seems a daft strategy for nesting don't they know they have wings?

What a wonderful find. I understand that they are very shy birds.

well done, especially if they are so skittish...lovely markings, and a furtive eye..

I seem to remember that even Chris Packham has difficulty in photographing these guys!

But but but - that's the sheep lens - I hope you got their permission first? :o)
Super bit of creeping up though!
