Several dozen Twite have been colour-ringed at Knott End as part of The Twite Network https://twitter.com/Twite_news .
Each Twite ringed at Knott End has a metal BTO ring above a pale blue ring on the left leg, and on the right leg a unique combination of two colour-rings.
Please report your sightings (ideally with a photograph showing the colour-rings) to knottendtwite@outlook.com .
Many thanks.
The Fylde Bird Club funds a winter feeding scheme for Twite at Knott End. The slipway and adjacent beach is an excellent site to see the Twite.
