Since 1995 the number of turtle doves visiting England each summer has declined by 94%. I would like to create a situational analysis to better understand this issue. My proposed scope for this is only their time in England (May - Sept), although no doubt they face are further challenges during their October-April migration.

(Last summer I led a local supplemental feeding programme and we saw two pairs of turtle doves successfully fledge eight juveniles, which was very exciting).

Hi Martin, I worked on Turtle doves a few years ago for RSPB, would be happy to join in this situational analysis.
