	Ornithos - Winter ecology of Eurasian Woodcock
		The Eurasian Woodcock is a migratory species with an uncertain conservation status, whose ecology and behaviour are largely unknown in winter.
		Woodcocks are known to be sensitive to frost, and are threatened by habitat loss and high hunting pressures in winter, which is a period of enhanced vulnerability due to the concentration of populations.
		Depending on their energetic needs (a function of air temperature) and their own foraging efficiency, individuals that increased their foraging effort during the day, could decide to stay in the forest at night in order to minimise predation risks.
