Path of woodcock on Wednesday morning in the snow in Virumaa
Body
Woodcock; European woodcock Metskurvits; folk name also nepp Scolopax rusticola
The snow on Wednesday morning quite likely surprised the bird too; for food it looks for all kinds of creepy-crawlies in the mud with its long beak. There is no panic yet to leave towards south since the soil surface is not yet frozen.
Most woodcocks have already headed towards south but some that spend the winter here can be seen almost every year.
