dont see them very often,usualy the terrier will put the odd one up in the woods when mooching about although tend to see more when im out lamping with the dog but spotted this one the other day and as iv never eaten one thought id give it a go.

I was going to say you must have some skills.....

 

Seen a few this year, a few seconds before they disappear.

There's an abundance around here at the moment, we rose 32 last weekend for 10 shot, mixed in among the Pheasants. They were flying well too.

hello folks . just like to ask .is it just me or has any one else noticed a marked increase in the amount of wood cock about this winter

[Nik_B 3,790]

I think their numbers are way up on last year from what people have said.

 

Also I think there are a lot more than people realise, according to the RSPB there's 1.6 million of them over winter here in the UK.

Again we are not seeing so many, it looked promising early season

[littleterrier 3]
