There were 62 new birds ringed with 30 re-traps and 1 control from Heysham. 7 of the re-traps had not been caught since 2007 and a further 5 had not been caught since spring 2008. The bird which holds a longevity record has not returned so far this winter.

Jack's van is an ideal field station
A nice male Twite with bright pink rump
Up to 200 of these curry-coloured little birds inhabit Askam salt marsh through the winter
