Great video of the Woodcock John and Pam. Only been able to view it on phone prior to this evening. The background sounds of the Black Grouse and Cuckoo make you feel as though we were right there. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Martin. It's good to get your feedback as very few people comment. We think that people don't realise how much work is involved in the whole process. Never mind, we enjoy seeing the finished product.
Thanks for the nice comment. The footage shown is supposed to be 4k, but there is a lot of compression by UA-cam which does degrade it. Cheers and take care.
It was a fantastic experience, the birds were about 10ft from the car. It was very foggy and when it cleared we then saw the beds. Thank you for taking the time ti comment.
Fabulous video! I've been filming birds in Britain since the 1970s and only managed to get Woodcock in daylight once, on the Isles of Scilly in October 1987. Obviously that footage on Super-8 cine film is nowhere near the quality of yours in 4k video! I'm now videoing in 4k and still hoping to capture Woodcock in daylight. To me, your video is a once in a lifetime moment, just like my capture of a Nightjar singing in daylight in the New Forest in 2009----see at ua-cam.com/video/kxwn2AmjmLM/v-deo.html Congratulations on a really memorable piece of perfect video!
Thanks Alan for your lovely comment. We've had a look at your Nightjar and you did well to get so close. We think we may have also have seen the Woodcock you mentioned which we think was visible in a ploughed field. If you want to see any more of our videos go onto www.youtube.com/@johnandpamhallwildlifevide5524/videos The pair of Woodcock we filmed was a chance sighting from the car and as you say was a once in a lifetime moment. Wonderful experience. Thank you again.
@@johnandpamhallwildlifevide5524I'm just glad they have a similar bouncy walk as their US counterparts, that's what makes me laugh. I know they're bigger but they tap their feet the same to bring worms, insects to the surface. Their funny walk is also involved in their mating dance.....
I love this video. Woodcocks are one of my favorite silly birds. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your kind comment.
they are not silly at all ..otherwise they would not survive as a species :-))
I love these little fellows! So cute!
What a lovely video! I think woodcocks are my favorite birds.
Thanks for your nice comment.

Lovely! Thank you
We appreciate you taking the time and trouble to comment on this video. Thankyou.
Very nice cinematography! You never notice how pretty the patterns on these bobbing babies are until you get high quality footage such as this.

after the american woodcock blew up i came to see if the eurasian one had the same bounce to it. happy to see that it does
Thanks for your comment.
Interesting... Their whole body goes back and forth but head remains still!!
Thanks for your comment.
That happens with all birds
In fact, cats heads work like that too
Beautiful birds. Plenty around where I live. Tend to only see them when they are flying around. Great video.
Thanks for your interesting comment.
Many thanks

Brilliant!....Have been trying to film them here on the Isle of Harris!...for the Last 4 Years!!......
Thanks Terry for the nice comment, you have some good footage on your site also. Take Care
Me tornei admirador desses pássaros, vida longa à espécie.

They're cute fellas, but they don't have the groove or the peent of their brethren on the western side of the pond.
Thanks for your comment, I don't think we will ever get the chance of seeing the American Woodcock, which is a shame. Take good care, cheers.
