Heysham
North Harbour Wall
Early visit this morning saw only 23 finches, comprising mostly Linnets and a few Goldfinch. No Twite identified. The early morning light makes positive separation of Twite/Linnet surprisingly hard. No attempt made at catching owing to the usual human disturbance in the area on a fine Sunday with a late morning high tide!
(A small flock of 19 Twite present at Askham in Furness this morning included 2 birds ringed at Heysham last winter plus 2 returning birds ringed at that site previously)
