Twite

Linaria flavirostris

The Twite (Linaria flavirostris) is a small passerine bird found in the highlands of Europe and Asia. It is characterized by its brown and pinkish plumage, with a distinctive yellow bill. Twites are often found in open moorland, heathland, and upland grasslands, where they forage for seeds and insects. They are known for their cheerful, twittering song and are often seen in small flocks. The Twite's population is declining due to habitat loss and changes in land use, leading to its classification as a species of Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
