  Twite
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.

 PDNP: Place/Hay Meadows/Twite
The twite is a small, upland finch that visits the Peak District in the summer in order to breed.
Twite like to nest on the moorlands in tall, bushy vegetation such as heather or bracken.
It is estimated that in the last 10 years there has been a 50% decline from the South Pennines, its only English breeding grounds.

Comparing twite records from moorland only squares surveyed in 1990 and 1999 we see decline of 50%.Thus the twite population was estimated at 415+ pairs in 1990 and by 1999 to around 215 pairs.
In 2002 efforts were made to collate twite records during the breeding season from keen birdwatchers active in the area.
Twite generally construct their nests low down in bracken litter and could therefore be affected by bracken control programmes if an alternative choice of nesting habitat, such as heather, is not available.

 Food parcels to save the twite   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Under the banner of the RSPB Twite Aid Project, armies of volunteers will be dispatched to twite breeding colonies this summer to provide supplementary seed sustenance for a bird which is also known as the ‘Pennine finch’.
Elsewhere in the UK, the twite is found in small numbers in north England, north Wales and along the coastal districts of Northern Ireland.
Most seed-eaters feed their chicks on insects, but the twite, which nest on moorlands in tall heather and bracken, rely on collecting their food — seeds of sorrel, chickweed, dandelion and knot grass — from the flower-rich meadows nearby.

The Davidsons' arrangement was with Darrell Twite, whom they expected to act as foreman or supervisor of the other workers he brought with him.
Initially, Steve and the other workers were "furnished" by RP Twite Construction: Ray's approval for the use of the crew was sought and obtained but the work performed was for another - the Davidsons - and not for RP Twite Construction.
The crew was working under the control and direction of one of RP Twite's supervisors and therefore within the course and scope of their work for RP Twite, albeit as loaned employees.

When the Lancashire plan for Twite was being put together, it became obvious that a United Utilities’ reservoir catchment estate in the east of the county had probably the largest breeding colony, but details were sparse.
Traditionally, South Pennine birds have moved south-east to the Wash, estuaries further south and into the Low Countries for winter.  Their response to artificial feeding and seed crops elsewhere does show a possible route to supporting populations while we try to get the habitat mix and distribution right again on the breeding grounds.

 Carduelis flavirostris
In winter though the Twite is easily distinguished since it has a bright, pale, yellowish bill which stands out against an otherwise dark head.
In summer the Twite's bill is darker so you must rely on more subtle features: the Twite is generally darker and drabber than a Linnet with a neater pale bar across the wing and a plainer, buff face and throat with hardly any evidence of dark and light moustchial lines.
Twite's breed commonly in northern and western Scotland and more locally in northern England.
