Hi been beating today for the first time this season and saw 2 woodcock. We don't normally see many this time of year.
What's the numbers like on other shoots?
 
My dog put one up yesterday morning whilst walking down the dunes. Very early for down with us!
 
On our shoot near Great Ayton (North East England) we seen about 10 woodcock, suspect they must have dropped in during recent full moons.

Saw first one here in cumbria last Thursday. Dogs flushed 2 this morning, looks like there
trickling in !!!
 
Dog put up another five woodcock this afternoon along with about twenty snipe (in about 30 mins)
Looks like they've arrived early
 
there was a big fall last week they seem to settle on heather banks in earshot of running water ,and most have now pushed off
 
Yeah woodcock appear to be well in now, didn't really expect them till next full moon
