All the Turtle Dove records submitted to the Beds Bird Club for 2011 are the red squares in the map above. They are disappearing fast with even fewer records so far in 2012 (the blue squares). If you are lucky enough to find one in the county PLEASE send in the record. It is really easy to do - just fill in the form found HERE (or, even better, use BirdTrack).  Also consider supporting Operation Turtle Dove to help save this beautiful species from extinction in the UK.
