The association Friends of Scolopax has updated the latest data on woodcocks. Here is what has been written about it on the web in the last few hours: “We are able to offer a flash related to last December just concluded. The indices refer to over 13 thousand hours of hunting and they are clearly and absolutely provisional. The evolution of the season appears consistent with the period.
At the macro-area level, the trend of better irradiation on the Central and Northern regions remains the main node of this season. At the same time and over the decades, December progressively showed better conditions in some areas of the southern regions of our country.
The improved erratic movements even over long distances, to the benefit of the latitudes of interest for wintering, only partially compensate the missed flows expected in the moment of migration. January got off to a good start, but we'll see how it develops later. Good luck and best wishes for a happy new year! ".
