Eurasian woodcock : daylight flight : RSPB Otmoor

Eurasian Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola) flying over Greenaways at RSPB Otmoor nature reserve. Early afternoon.

Not often seen in flight during daylight hours, I believe this woodcock may've been flushed by one of two foxes which were hunting in the vicinity at the time.

Location: RSPB Otmoor nature reserve, Oxfordshire, UK
Date: 16 December 2022

Clip is one fifth-speed slomo.

Filmed using an #iphone12pro attached to an Opticron field scope -- a technique sometimes known as #'phonescoping, a subcategory of #digiscoping
