Twite seen on Priest Island on 15 June 2009 by Jacquie Heaton of Highland Ringing Group. This bird had BTO ring R547*** identified and red over yellow on left. So it was a bird ringed between Jan and end of June 2003 at cant Clough. checking ring series there were 159 rings used R547001 - 260 between Jan and end of June 2003. BTO Used ringing date as 15 march 2003
Duration is 2284 days or 6yr 92days and the distance is 510 km.
I reckon this is probably the longest UK distance for a Twite and longevity record for twite
