Twite (1535 words)
The twite is a small, brown finch that feeds on the seeds of a variety of plants, especially dandelion, sorrel, annual meadow-grass and thistles.
Relatively large numbers of twite congregate in the Ribble saltmarshes and in fields bordering the Lune estuary during the winter.
Increase the breeding distribution of twite, aiming to achieve recolonisation of the 1990 range by 2010 and, ultimately, recolonisation of the 1968-72 range.
