Turtle Doves

[Greyowl]

When was the last time you heard or saw a Turtle Dove?.

For me it must be at least 3 years since I heard one calling.

[Phil UK]

I've heard four calling birds.

You know where this is going. (Hint! Christmas classic!) :lol:

But seriously, Where I live there are something like three cooing pigeons, two menacing magpies, one irritating blackbird and a ****load of cheeping starlings and sparrows.

All that in and around my backyard too.

Phil. (Where's my BB gun!!)

It's one bird I have never seen or heard, although apparently they have been seen in this area.

I don't know but i saw a Grey Wagtail today, very nice bird. B)

In this country, you're very lucky to hear a Turtle Dove as they're being pushed out by Collared Doves and Wood Pigeons and are now back on their way south. Well done for spotting it.

Grey Wagtails are cute - nearly as cute as the flock of 40-plus Long-tailed Tits than amble through my garden most days.
