Woodcock wrexham north wales

I am so chuffed - I have had a woodcock in my garden for all of today and its still there and its now gone 9pm. I really hope it stays here. I need to read up on them so I can make the most of its presence I have never seen one in my life so really excited.



Rubbish picture I know but it will hopefully be here again tomorrow and I will get better ones

Hi Counterlady,

You lucky thing - I've never seen one. Hopefully it might make its way down the road to Oswestry to my garden!!

dont mean to be rude BUT NO ITS MINE and I'm going to do everything in my power to make it stay - it's not coming to Oswestry!!!

No seriously I cant get away from the window its just wandering around the garden even this late digging for worms its an amazing sight I'll have to get a night camera My husband finally thinks I've gone mad

I had a night vision scope for Xmas last year. It came from Aldi's (about £99) and its one of my best presents ever!! You should keep a look out as I think they had them in again this year or it may even have been Lidl that had them. My husband thinks I'm a complete loon too!! This Xmas I asked for a bat detector - he just wafted his eyes and said couldn't I ask for normal stuff like perfume or jewellry!! Enjoy your woodcock

Thats really cool. I'm pretty sure I saw one feeding on the grass verge at the side of the M77 motorway in Glasgow the other day. My cousin said "look theres a chicken". It had its head down digging in the snowy grass so I never got a good look but after just watching a vid on youtube of one feeding im almost certain thats what it was.

Thats awesome Kreacha I'll keep my eye open. Well I think you made a great choice for Xmas who needs perfume that doesnt bring entertainment
