The original twitter(er).

So, as the evening draws near, I pay attention to the evening light. There is a magic moment (1 candle light) that is the prerequisite amount to

                trigger the courtship activity of ol’ Mr. Timberdoodle, aka Am. Woodcock.

I have lived here on Academy Road in Thetford for 27 years, and bless their lil hearts, we have been blessed every year with the magic of woodcock courtship

                display (peenting and aerial twittering, the original).  Usually for 1-2 months.

So, keep your ears and eyes open. They are a “right  of spring”.

Cheers
