I've seen it/them a couple of times. I'd probably have said it was a Woodcock if I had'nt also already seen one of those up here too. I work on a site just near Dumfries. Its a closed site with damp, slightly boggy sedge / brush inside and out. The other day I saw a Woodcock fly over at about dusk, then I also saw this smaller, similar bird which gave a thin, reedy but short call. I'd also seem something at night, outside the fence which was slightly smaller than a Thrush I'd say...that was just 'loitering' in the short grass near the fence and I couldnt get a good look. Last night I saw one over the other side of the site, about a mile away. Again at night, it was smaller than a Thrush and was initially spooked by the vehicle lights. But it flew up then re-landed about 10 yards away by the fence. I got a reasonable look. It was nervous but hung about a bit and I noted the bill was quite short. Then it flew up over the fence and I lost it. I've not seen it bobbing mind!? What do you think Wharfego?
