Deja Vu, Back in the Pennines i used to be part of the North West Twite project catching and colour ringing Twite at four different Sites for a great friend and mentor of mine Dave Sowter. I knew the isle of Man had wintering Twite in small numbers and it was great to see a photo of a few taken by Bill Callow at Ramsey harbour on the 16 October. On closer inspection the back bird had a colour ring on Green above White. I emailed Dave and told him about the ringed bird he came back to me saying it was definitely ringed by Rob Angus and his team of ringers up in Machrihanish, Argyll. Dave replied saying
"Machrihanish team responded with great cheer to me, as they have also has one at Heysham last few days and today had a photos of a Duddon estuary bird"
They have ringed over 400 Twite with Green /White the left leg
