Twite back at Deer Hill

Supported by the Kirklees Environment Grant Scheme

Two Visits this week to Deer Hill first to sort the site out before the birds come back and to put food down. Food also placed at Whiteholme reservoir.

6 Twite on wires today to windy to catch but scoped a few ringed birds, 3 with the colours of 2007, blue yellow over pink. 3 with out rings

Also this spring Nick Wilkenson Conservation Scientist {RSPB}has asked me and Dave Sowter to individually colour ring the birds . This will greatly help his efforts to collect data on the number of nesting attempts made in a season, as part of the monitoring for the RSPB/NE Twite Recovery Project.
