The spring flight of woodcocks began in Moscow

With the onset of warm weather in Moscow, a massive spring flight of woodcocks, woodcocks with unique appearance and habits, began across the territory of Moscow. This was announced on Sunday, April 6, according to the website of the Moscow City Hall.

In case of danger, these birds freeze and merge with the ground, which misleads the townspeople. Experts reminded that birds should not be touched, even if there are no visible injuries, writes "Moscow 24". Also, you should not chase and catch a woodcock if it flutters from place to place, that is, it clearly demonstrates the ability to fly, according to the Moscow city news agency.

This bird species is listed in the Red Book of Moscow under the first category of rarity. The woodcock's camouflage color and ability to hide in case of danger usually make it invisible, but during migration, birds appear over the city twice a year. Many people mistake the woodcock for an exotic bird, although in fact its routes have been passing through these lands for thousands of years.
