Spotted
The Twite is a small, streaky brown finch of open, often coastal or upland habitats, closely related to the Linnet. It is distinguished by its lack of red plumage and often a yellow bill, especially in winter.
Where to spot
Breeds in northern and western Europe, and across central Asia, in open moorlands, mountains, and coastal areas. Winters mainly in coastal and lowland agricultural areas, often forming flocks.
How to spot
Look for its streaky brown plumage and the absence of any red. In winter, a yellow bill (often darker in summer) is a good ID feature. The most reliable identification is often by its distinctive, often repeated 'twit-twit-twitt' call, which gives it its name.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season in its specific upland/coastal habitats. In winter, they often descend to more accessible lowlands and coasts, forming flocks that are easier to spot.

Twites are one of the few finches that prefer to breed in treeless, open habitats such as moorlands, coastal marshes, and mountain slopes, rather than woodlands or cultivated areas.
