Thursday May 27 - Secret Location, special bird

 When I signed up to take part in the National Turtle Dove Survey I hadn't appreciated how early I'd have to get up.

This morning I made the effort, and due to the sensitive nature of records involving this species I can't tell you where I went. All I can say is that it was in South Warwickshire.

Also, I saw one.

Turtle Dove

This is the only Turtle Dove I have ever been able to photograph. In the days when they were reasonably plentiful I didn't own a camera. Sadly its now declining fast.

It wasn't purring unfortunately, just a lucky find.
