Twite

11 today down the track from Withens Gap to Cold Edge around Highcote Barn area. The birds were feeding on the edge of the moor and also on the walls around the hedge. They were flighty and not staying put for long.

Feeding station at Fly Flatts also checked for Twite but nothing doing there - lots of Niger seed and topped it up. 2 Oystercatchers also at Fly Flats and c60 Meadow Pipits down the track from the road to the sailing club with lots of young birds in among.

Nick D and Gordon were running a feeding station at Withens Gap but I don't know whether they kept it going? Tim Walker reports "good numbers" of twite at Derby Delph and a few at Green Withens.

Thanks for topping the seed up Dave,Im suprised that there was still some left as it goes quickly,mostly to Canadas but Ive been spreading it out more lately,we,re bound to get some back soon. The 2 Oyks are a good sighting for Fly.
