Woodcock released this morning. Picked it up lastnight. was found in the middle of a housing estate in Belfast, in a driveway, tired, hungry and cold.. Had a night of rest, lots of food and heat.. was fighting fit this morning so found a nice quiet wood and released him.. Totally gorgeous birds. the plumage is amazing.
The area he was released into is a lovely mixed woodland, plenty of cover and bordered on either side with open countryside so he has the choice of where he wants to go..
The weather is badly effecting everything.. the animals, just like ourselves, are just not used to this degree of coldness. PLEASE do be vigilant and feed the birds in your area.
