Last years Turtle Dove that I saw twice daily for ages |
This morning on waking up the dulcet tones of a Cuckoo were ringing out - although from my slumber they didnt appear to be coming from the usual reedbed 200m away but rather the scrub the other side of the house.
Finally on my way to work between Watton & Hutton Cranswick a Turtle Dove flew alongside the car for 100m or so before flipping over the hedge. All in all pretty special.

I'd love to find a Turtle Dove James, especially at Duff!
Alan, they are regular but thinly distributed around here. Last year I managed to record successful breeding despite only observing a pair from the car...didnt even realise it was a pair until they lined up with fledged juv on a telegraph line. Just hoping for them on the garden list as Cuckoo is on.
