Chris Heward provides a location update from our tagged birds, most of whom have faithfully returned to their breeding sites.

Chris Heward discusses the journey of Holkham, our only ‘new’ woodcock this year.

We are appealing for volunteers to take part in the GWCT/BTO  annual woodcock counts. We are looking for people willing to perform dusk surveys, in May and June, to count displaying woodcock.

Chris Heward discusses the importance of understanding when and how migrant woodcock move between their wintering grounds in the British Isles and their breeding sites elsewhere.

After fearing that Phynodderee had died, Chris Heward is relieved to have received some accurate location data from her.

Our tagged birds are doing something woodcock very rarely do – behaving as expected! Several of our tagged birds have departed over the Easter weekend and some are making very good progress.
