A shot in the dark for the woodcock
Article Abstract:
It is widely believed in the UK that woodcocks are migratory birds, mostly coming to the UK when harsh weather arrives in the far north of Europe. It can be very exciting to spot woodcocks, as it is never possible to be certain where they will be or when. Some woodcocks remain in the UK throughout the year, and these show a number of very interesting breeding habits. It has never been possible to breed woodcocks artificially, as it has with pheasants and partridges.

Shadow of the mafia keeps the Dark Ages in view
Article Abstract:
Criminal gangs still have a very strong presence in Russia, demanding payments from shops, cafes, kiosks, restaurants, banks and other establishments. Contract murders are very common, and the high prices of consumer goods are partly due to the fact that retailers must make payments to gangs in order to remain in business. The presence of these gangs acts as a significant deterrent from doing business.
