Operation Turtle Dove

ByDawn

Regular readers will know I have a real passion for this wonderful rare bird. I’ve just heard about Operation Turtle Dove – a three year project to reverse the decline of the Turtle dove. The project is a partnership between the RSPB, Pensthorpe Conservation Trust, Natural England, and Conservation Grade. For more information visit their website: http://operationturtledove.org/

They need our help – Turtle Dove sightings can be submitted to the hotline on 01603 697527 or emailed to turtledove@rspb.org.uk

To support the project, you can donate via: http://operationturtledove.org/how-you-can-help/making-a-donation

    I’m very fortunate to live near some lovely countryside, with two small nature reserves just a few minutes walk away from home. This weekend I decided to explore these instead of heading to the Fen. The closest reserve is an area of heathy common, with short rabbit grazed turf, and prickly gorse bushes. There’s a…
