There was a woodcock in my Clapham garden this morning. Is that unusual?
Woodcocks fly at night so may have got disorientated because of the storm and crashed in your garden. Nice visitor to have. Did you get a photo?

Sadly just with my iphone and only I know it’s a woodcock - it was squatting at the bottom of a lilac tree and was incredibly well camouflaged. We are close to Clapham Common and it’s a big garden with lots of trees and shrubs. We get a lot of itinerants and relatively unusual birds for what is a big city location. One of our neighbours cats frightened the woodcock away in the end. For me very exciting !
