I got to see one of those bad boys live and up close last fall - it somehow flew into the stairwell of my apartment bloc and couldn't get out, so I got it trapped under a cardboard box and managed to get the city guard to come over and pick it up for vet checkup at the local zoo's wildlife rescue point. I was equally stressed (wouldn't you be if there was a potentially hurt wild bird in your stairwell, it took you 30 minutes of bouncing between phone numbers before you got the right one and then you had to wait three hours until evening before they scooped the poor thing up?) and bewildered because I'm renting a flat in a densely populated apartment/business district in Warsaw, about the last place you'd expect to see a bird commonly found on marshes and in damp forests, but according to the guard officers they're a pretty common wildlife rescue call around here.

This is adorable
Kinda crazy how I’m the first comment this video has gotten even though it has a significant amount of views
yeah
obviously a different evolution than the American one 😉
The Eurasian Woodcock in the video has cut off its beak, but despite this it is still able to search for insects in the grass.
@@hypoleucus good for it - under the circumstances 🐦 actually I meant it's not doing that distinct woodcock walk the American one is known for 😅
@@Edwing77 Eurasian Woodcocks do it as well sometimes but not as often or as pronounced as the American one, that's true.
Hello from Kansas 🇺🇸
I love it.
what about my asian woodcock
Looks like it's measuring temperature of the soil😂
