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.

You lucky thing - I didn't spot it until I got to the third photo. Haven't seen a woodcock in absolutely ages... although of course that doesn't mean they weren't there!

I'm now wondering just how many woodcocks I've walked straight past, with them looking at me down their long beaks and thinking : "Haha! Invisible Woodcock Wins Again!"
