Colour ringed Twite sighting

Nick Wilkinson (RSPB) has informed me of a locally ringed twite being seen at Selsey in West Sussex last week, it was ringed as a nestling in the Rishworth area and subsequently seen locally on 22nd June and 17th August. This is an interesting record given its location on the south coast whereas the majority of birds winter on the east coast between Lincolnshire and Kent.

Interesting news Nick. I also gather that 3 colour ringed birds we have seen at Fly Flats in the last few weeks were all this years young from Calderdale sites.
