2022Bird Of The Year – The Eurasian Woodcock - First Day Cover

The Eurasian woodcock is relatively large wader bird living in our forests. The bird has largely black and brown feathers and relatively short legs in terms of waders. The Eurasian woodcock has excellent camouflage and a secretive lifestyle, making any rare meeting with it in our forests during the daytime a random occurrence. Only in spring, during the mating season, can male birds be seen more often while on their territorial flights at dusk.
