These are the most delightful little birds. Have only seen them on migration once, in Co. Cork. So obliging - or more likely, tired after their long trip.

Interesting. I had no idea turtle doves are considered to be vulnerable.  Very soon the second verse of the Twelve Days of Christmas could become outdated.  Scary.

Scary indeed. "Two Turtle Doves" might be more than we have!
