Super Secret Undercover Bird

I think it is a woodcock.

It looked very outraged that I had spotted it.  I took this photo,  confirming its suspicion that I really was looking at it, and it flew off in disgust before I could get closer. Brythen didn't see it at all until it flew, and made a huge surprised bounce when it took wing.

I could see it in the second shot, but then I suspected I was looking for a woodcock.

Gorgeous birds. Pip used to spring one every now and then, much to his delight.

Mine have no instinct for birds at all. Even gulls on a beach are usually not considered worth the chasing.
