TWITE
Well its been a long time and my first this year in Calderdale but , I stumbled across 5 Twite today on the way back from Fly Flatts , just after the Old Withens pub a small bird flew off the road and into the nearby field it looked like a chat and I was thinking its gonna be a Stonechat , but i could not relocate it in the strong gusty winds, but I did flush 5 small birds that landed on the fence 5 Twite ..its been a few years since I have seen them up there......Up at Fly there were 24 Mallard , 11 Teal, 3 Kestrel , 2 Buzzards and 1 Pintail....
Great result there Andy.
