  1. It's a sad reflection of how scarce Turtle Doves have become Penny if they are now appearing on RBA's Norfolk Bird News. It was always a species that I looked forward to seeing and was 'guaranteed' in the dim and distant past on trips to Norfolk! In fact in the 80s I ringed them on my ringing site of Snettisham Common!

    Cheers,

    Seumus

    1. Very sad indeed – I remember seeing lots as a youngster in the Spring time.

  2. Enjoy the next two days...
    hope the weather holds good!
    Keep well,
    keep taking the dried frog pills,

  3. It is a shame that you need to monitor all your comments Penny,
    although I can understand why...
    but it kills "conversation"...
    my thoughts were exactly the same as Seumus when I keep seeing the Turtle Doves coming up as rare on the Norfolk Bird News...
    so I would have replied to that rather than firing shots into the dark!!
    Hope today went well...
    as I looked at Sat24 just now, I noticed that the overnight cloud was clearing to the East with nought but "little fluffy clouds" in its wake....
    hope it stays fine and doesn't get too hot.
