Where have all the twite gone?!

Most of you will know that volunteers are monitoring Calderdale's known twite colonies. As some have posted, results are extremely disappointing with most colonies having less or even no birds. This means that any supplementary twite records are potentially valuable. There is a real risk of twite becoming locally extinct if we don't do anything.


To kick things off a friend of mine saw a single twite on telegraph wires just above Rishworth quarry on Sunday 24 June.
