Woodcock
are a widespread breeder in Øygarden; they are also common
migrants in both spring and autumn. Many attempt to overwinter in the
area and are often seen during periods of hard weather. This species is
incredibly difficult to photograph under normal circumstances.
The bird pictured below had got itself stuck in a wire fence - thus
presenting a rare photographic opportunity.
