|
| Marsden Moor supports large numbers of moorland birds such as the golden plover, red grouse, curlew and the diminutive twite. |
|
| Nationwide, it is hoped the scheme will boost the habitats of species such as the grey partridge, twite, natterjack toad, sandbowl snail and lesser silver water beetle. |
|
| The South Pennines support internationally important numbers of European golden plover, curlew, merlin and twite. |
|
| The enormous seed production of the marsh plants is a good source of food in the winter for singing birds, such as the linnet, twite and the snow bunting. |
|
| The project will focus on the fastest declining bird species including corn buntings, yellow wagtails, skylarks, ring ouzels and twite. |
|
| Birds such as the turtle dove, cirl bunting, stone-curlew, black grouse, black-tailed godwit, twite and corncrake could be at risk. |
