What a lovely sight, I have never seen birds like that ever in this country....those beaks are so long,I’m off to look them up online, to get a much closer look, thanks for sharing, Meg.

Yes, they are found in the UK, must be a suitable habitat, which you obviously have.

Woodcock...I think this is what they are..

Re: 7 bird visitors to my snowy garden ETA not Woodcock but Snipe

how lucky Meg, we get a wide range of birds in our garden but never a woodcock

Re: 7 bird visitors to my snowy garden ETA not Woodcock but Snipe

Macy I live in the middle of the fields next to woodland and get a variety of birds, I am very lucky.

Re: 7 bird visitors to my snowy garden ETA not Woodcock but Snipe

Don’t forget,Meg,lives out in the sticks, it’s a haven for wildlife ,some of which ,we have probably never seen.

I live in a built up area, very limited to what I see in my garden....but am very grateful for what I see.

Re: 7 bird visitors to my snowy garden ETA not Woodcock but Snipe

Huh!
Not only have you captured some rather lovely birds in your photos but you've got snow too!
Both of which combine to equal a lovely sight.



I'm not jealous at all ..........
