Operation Turtle Dove

Turtle Dove population has plummeted by almost 99% since the 1960s. Around 122,000 pairs were counted in the 1970s, but in 2021, just 2,000 pairs were surveyed.

Changes to our farming systems mean fewer wildflower seeds, their main source of food. The loss of hedgerows and scrub has taken away safe nesting spots. Until recently, unsustainable levels of hunting along their migration route through south-west Europe were also adding to the pressures they face.

But the Turtle Dove’s story is one of hope. Through decades of research by RSPB conservation scientists, we know what they need to recover and thrive. And you can help.
