The Twite, Carduelis flavirostris, is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae. This bird breeds in northern Europe and across central Asia. It is partially resident, but many birds migrate further south, or move to the coasts. Treeless moorland is favoured for breeding. It builds its nest in a bush, laying 4-7 eggs. This species can form large flocks outside the breeding season, sometimes mixed with other finches on coasts and salt marshes. More
