Acerca de
La becada (unos 330 g) es el mayor de los escolopácidos boscosos de Europa. Su plumaje críptico de tonos canela, negro y ocre la hace invisible sobre la hojarasca del suelo del bosque donde se camufla perfectamente. Sondea el suelo blando con su largo pico flexible para encontrar lombrices. El vuelo nupcial crepuscular del macho —el 'roding'— es un espectáculo peculiar de los bosques templados. Los ojos colocados muy atrás en la cabeza le dan visión de 360 grados para detectar depredadores.
