Midgley
Checked the Twite feeding station this afternoon, very quiet only one (unringed) bird present, Sue who has been keeping an eye on it whilst I have been away reports 30 there at the end of last week. Twite are still in good numbers on the Outer Hebrides where we had flocks of 60+ last week, interestingly one of the plants we saw them feeding on was Ragwort, no shortage of that around here. Very little else bird wise of note at Midgley just a Sparrowhawk through this morning, Red Admiral butterfly just now.

Welcome back Nick. Yes I have had Twite feeding on Ragwort at least last two seasons around 'our patch'
By the way - we have had no Twite at Fly Flats this week other than Sean Gray had one and we had 2 at Castle Carr both on the 2nd Sept. Lots of seed down for them!
