Twite Linaria flavirostris

Taken on 20/11/2010

EXIF

The colour ringed bird - pink over metal, white over yellow - is from an RSPB scheme. It was ringed as a nestling at Slaithwaite Moor nr Huddersfield, W Yorks, on 24th July 2010. It was then reported at Dunwich on 28 Oct, then at Dingle Marshes on 31 Oct. The RSPB have been colour-ringing Twite in the south Pennines for the last three years as part of the Twite Recovery Project funded by RSPB and Natural England. This project is undertaking conservation work with landowners to halt (and eventually reverse) the decline in the south Pennines Twite population. The birds have been ringed as part of our monitoring work to assess the effectiveness of the recovery project. We have used unique colour-ring combination's so that we can collect data on the number of nesting attempts made by individual females in a single season. Records of these birds outwith this, however, are valuable for further understanding their movements and survival.
