Turtle Dove: Ever since I took a trip with some old birding pals of mine a couple of years ago I feel in love with Norfolk.
 
One of it's enigmatic birds is the Turtle Dove, a species under huge pressures and decline across Europe, so it's always  red letter day when you catch u with one.
This year there has been a breeding pair close to Titchwell who have taken up residence within the car park and have been seen on a regular basis, even with their youngster.
Titchweel is a great place and there is always something good to see. Along with the Turtle Dove I had five Spoonbill, dozens of waders including a Greenshank, Ruff and Black-tailed Godwit and a lovely male Hobby.
