Targeting Turtles

I spent an enjoyable couple of hours on the patch tonight with Craig Brookes, Rob Werran and Nick Shimwell. Our main quarry was Turtle Dove - a British tick for one of the three! After an uneventful look at Mons Pool (where the water levels are low, and there is plenty of exposed mud, but no passage waders again...), we headed round to Meering Marsh where we had a (silent) Cuckoo, Hobby (snatching a Linnet off the wires) and Turtle Dove - so a successful evening.
