The mill stream at Woods Mill seems to be the place to be for Turtle Dove this year, at least for everyone else. We spent about 4 hours there on 9th, and all we heard was someone telling us that there had been one purring on the reserve earlier. Another two hours on Sunday yielded nothing, but we went on to the reserve, where it had been the previous time, and had nice views of a purring bird. 49 miles for a bird is a bit of an effort, though.
On the way back we had a very showy Banded Demoiselle by the river, and on the down behind us a very cooperative Beautiful Demoiselle, much more friendly than the ones at Woods Mill.
