Based on last week's success I went south of 401 today and ... well ... that was a mistake. Jumping the gun.
1 lonely flush and no shots fired.

South south ... excellent when the birds are in, but not much sign of birds this morning. I was hoping that with colder nights and north winds some birds would be coming through but it seems I was over-eager.

Ontario woodcock reports 2014
I must confess I moved 8 woodcock on Monday around a place that rhymes with Dingal but didn't report it till now......
I returned to said place later in the week only to find it devoid of woodcock.

Yes, I'm a bit mystified by the near-complete lack of birds this morning. The Great Woodcock is taking me down a peg, I guess.

Woodcock love it along the Thames - good cover and damp. Dogs put up a few to day along the Thames too.

Looks like my bush is done for another year. A thorough sweep and no woodcock found switched gears and at least brought 3 grouse home. Think its time to head southwest to catch up with them.

Last saturday with No dogs we flushed about 7 woodcock 3 were repeats but did not connect with any. Today same spot 2 woodcock flushes 1 down. Seems like we missed the bus on timing these buggers.

I don't think anyone has missed the boat yet. Checking my notes from last year I find this time last year I got 21 up in a day ... Nov 1, memorably, was 37.... We haven't had a good cold snap yet and I think there's still lots of action to come. Naturally, I'll be at work instead of out in the field.
