Once considered a common summer visitor, the number of turtle doves returning to the UK to breed each spring has declined dramatically over the past 30 years. If you see two or even only one turtle dove please join in the county-wide survey organised by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust and the Suffolk Ornithologists’ Group this summer to help us find out how many are breeding here in Suffolk.

If you would like to get involved, please contact: Suffolk Wildline on 01473 890089 or email info@suffolkwildlifetrust.org
