Twite

Twite are an uncommon resident species, best seen in Winter in coastal fields and along the shoreline.  Gyles Quay in Co Louth has in recent years been as good a place as any to catch these small finches, they've appeared there over the last few Winters in small flocks on and off.

A flock of upwards forty birds was back at Gyles Quay in recent weeks and below are a few shots I took on a recent trip along the Louth coast.
