Dove Step

Happy New Year to you all!

I just wanted to make you aware of a fantastic group of people, who will be walking 300 miles to raise money and awareness to save the Turtle Dove. A subject very close to my heart as regular readers will know. Turtle Doves had a terrible year last year, and we need to do all that we can to save this incredible bird.

So take a look at the Dove Step website here: http://dovestep.wordpress.com/

And finally a bit of Turtle Dove eye candy for you all:

    Off to the Fen this morning, after all, how could I resist after last time! Unfortunately I didn’t see the Bittern today, he was probably tucked up in the reeds somewhere given that the temperature was -13 degrees.
