I also had 3 up in front of me this Sunday,got one, only had one shot to fire( reason is s subject of another thread),Very frustrating.
Can't see it being to far fetched to see 5. Great to see it all the same.

Woodcock shot

I've had 2 out in front of me twice this year, only hit one each time,
Nice sight to see I'd say the heart was racing

EastTyrone

weve had several pairs rise together however they usually fly of together too hahahaha aw the heart was pounding we couldn't believe what happened! must have rose about 15 woodcock in a space of 5 acres of ditches best hunting ive seen in a long time was shaking by the end of it

Id be interested to hear if theres a reason for them bunching like that .

ferrete

they bunch like that on occasion or so i have found usually when your doing a bit of cover usually a hedge or strip. But they all run instead of flush. When they run out of cover they break in a bunch. This may not be 100% accurate but woodcock and ferreting are my two things and this is my experience

Downwind

theres logic in that one lad.
