Suffolk Turtle Dove Survey

logoTurtle doves (Streptopelia turtur) are in trouble; they are vulnerable to global extinction (IUCN Red List of Endangered Species). They have suffered a 94% UK population decline since 1995 and a 78% decline across Europe since 1980. At this current rate of change if we don’t help this species scientists calculate that complete UK extinction as a breeding species will be a real possibility.

  • Operation Turtle Dove has an important and urgent mission to reverse the fortunes of this enigmatic and culturally significant bird. Please help us to save them.
  • Key ID information can be found at the RSPB Turtle Dove ID page. 
  • The archived Action Plan (BAP) 2007 and a factsheet can be found here
