YWT Hodgson's Fields - 20 February 2013

A dusk visit to this grassland site near Spurn, revealed a couple of Woodcocks flying out of the scrub to feed in nearby fields. A pair of Tawny Owls hooted from the small copse in the field known intriguingly as Bettywells.Who Betty Wells was I do not know! A Barn Owl flew over in quite a direct manner, presumably heading from its roost site to a nearby feeding area. A few Teal arrived with the gathering dark to feed in the two small pools hidden away in the grassland.
