It's useful to see and understand how the Woodcock are using the wider area beyond the designated and protected sites - always more to discover/learn 🐦 Huge thanks to our team for all the hours spent after dark building up this valuable data set 🔦
We’ve just downloaded some more data from our recently GPS-tagged Woodcock, with this mapped individual spending time feeding in just a couple of fields near #SkipwithCommon during the night and roosting up on the NNR during the day @yorkbirding.bsky.social
