Dove Step

ByDawn

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:

    What a beautiful day it was on Sunday! Decided to head for Strumpshaw again, but things were a bit quiet, although I did see my first ever Brambling.
