Twite 15 flew up from the salthmarsh & away over the eastern marshes. It was difficult to nail down the identity in such a short timeframe but the note was different to linnet & the flock generally larger than the linnets I've seen here before. Twite has also started to be a fairly frequent visitor to Titchwell in recent winters.
