Woodcock

Birthday bonus (just thought I'd drop that in!) today. We all had a walk along the clifftop, in dull, cold conditions. This will sound smart but it's not meant to. As we were returning my mind drifted to birds I hadn't seen yet this year. I was going to have a walk up Seaside to try and get lucky with a Woodcock. I decided to join the good lady for a coffee first. As we were returning to the Cottage a bird exploded out of a neighbouring garden. Yep...Woodcock! (P.147, H.134).
