Matt,
Yep, by Nant yr arian I've seen two. And I hope you checked the dead one for rings! hehe. There is like alot of Woodcock ringing occuring around here now as part of a project for the Game and Wildlife Conservancy Trust to find out more about these secretive birds!

I did check its legs, am pretty sure i checked it legs, i normally check dead birds' legs!! I may check again if its still there!! :0)
I take it you are a ringer then? I quite fancy going for my C permit and help out at University, they need ringers!
Anywhere specific where you saw the Woodcocks? on the bends?
Cheers
Matt
