Woodcock, a fascinating creature that has captivated the attention of artists, naturalists, and locomotive enthusiasts alike. Whether it's the majestic A4 Class steam locomotive No 60029 billowing smoke as it powers through the countryside in 1954 or the delicate beauty Scolopax ruticola found during Norfolk winters, there is something truly enchanting about this bird. In Norfolk, January brings a picturesque scene as Woodcock Scolopax rusticola gracefully navigates through snow-covered landscapes. The image is reminiscent of an engraving from 1802 showcasing these elegant birds in all their glory. Audubon himself was captivated by the American Woodcock (Scolopax minor), capturing its essence with his artistic skill. Woodcock View in Wigan, England offers a different perspective on woodcocks - not just as creatures of nature but also as namesakes for places. It's a reminder that these birds have left their mark beyond their habitats. And speaking of leaving marks, George Woodcock made his own impact as TUC General Secretary. But let us not forget the true stars here - the woodcocks themselves. With their distinctive plumage and unique courtship rituals, they command attention wherever they go. From breeding territories in Connecticut to undergrowth in winter forests of Brittany, France – they are always captivating to behold. Even plants pay homage to these magnificent creatures like Ophrys scolopax subsp. Cornuta or more commonly known as Woodcock bee-orchid – an exquisite flower mirroring the elegance and allure associated with woodcocks.
