Twite Movement



A couple of weeks ago i got an email from Ken Hindmarch from the 01229 group of ringers about one of our Isle of Man Twite.
The bird with colour rings WHITE over BLUE ORANGE on its left leg was seen on the 27 October 2011 and 3 times in November 2011 at Askam- in-Furness near the Pier.
This bird was ringed at The Point of Ayre site along with another 50 in the winter of 2010/2011 and is the first record of one of our colour ringed Twite being seen off island..... or it was untill Kev got a Control back from the BTO last night


Twite L807928 was colour ringed on the 19 March 2011 at the Point Of Ayre and controlled at Machrihanish Bird Obs on the 02 September 2011

Duration of 167 Days  Distance 145KM
