Turtle Dove in Bodham A Welcome Sighting in a Bodham Garden
The Turtle Dove is a species of bird which has been struggling. Some initiatives [including one in Bodham] have had some success. It took the editor by surprise to not only see one arrive in my garden , but to feed and drink on three consecutive days. It would be great to find out if anyone else has seen a Turtle Dove in their garden. Please get in touch with the editor.
