Almost stood on tis little fellow at Duddingston Loch today.
Woodcock?
Got within 2 foot before i spotted it and backtracked. In the 5 minutes i was there it didn't move once. I hope it was just scared and not at death's door from the extreme weather.
Also saw qute a few foxes crossing the large expanse of ice. We moan about the roads not being clear but at least we can go home to our central heating. You have to feel sorry for the animals in this weather where everyday is a matter of life and death.
