A Steady week with more reports of Twite returning to the Pennines. 4 caught at Whiteholme with 3 being new birds 9 caught at Deer Hill on Wednesday with 2 new birds, and 9 caught at Rishworth Quarry today with 1 bird from Cant Clough 2007, 4 from Deer Hill 2008, 1 2007 , 2 from Rishworth 2008 and 2 new birds.
As mentioned before this spring we are individually marking the new birds we catch to help 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.
