Unexpected in the woodland

Somewhat unexpected animals caught on my camera traps in recent months have included a tawny owl and a buzzard but here is a bird I had no idea at all was present in the little strip of local woodland - a woodcock. This is a beautifully camouflaged wading bird of the woods. It is also mainly nocturnal, which may explain why I have not seen one before. Another reason could be because they are relatively rare and on the UK's red list. 

Anyway, here is one!
