"Splashing around in the shallow water." leads me to ask if you saw a flock of them together splashing or a number of them individually splashing away from others?

Just a couple, splashing in & out, before they saw us and left

It must have been fun to watch them. I love watching woodcock as much as I enjoy hunting them - their "sky dance" in the very early spring and their flighting in the late fall. I haven't seen a woodcock splashing in the water yet, but I hope to.

I'm with Dean on this one ,I haven't seen it either but would really enjoy seeing it ! I am a very addicted Woodcock hunter ,and sad to say ,I am not looking forward to the fall season very much without Old Chip , Chips and his mother ,Maggie and I hunted Woodcock for over 20 Years combined between both their life times ! When I was a kid there were literally hundreds probably thousands over my growing up years of Woodcock land in what we called " The Bottom " an area on Dads farm with a small run going through the center and dark loamy soil and when the flights would drop in ,I was as tickled as if it were Christmas Morning ,none of my Buddies at the time understood my affliction but seemed to tolerate it and followed along while we had our Beagles out hunting Rabbits and I would shoot Woodcock and Dream of owning my own Pointing Dog ! Ahh ,those were the days !

I wonder if they weren't snipe rather than woodcock. I've seen them splash around in the water more than once.
