Good news for Turtle Doves in Essex ! Today on a survey for the RSPB at a farm that is well managed for wildlife, I was delighted to find 2 juveniles together. These photos wonβt win any awards, but are evidence of hope in an uncertain time.

I was on holiday staying at a B&B on the Glebe, next to the meadow, so I have not submitted any records yet.
The meadow was a superb piece of ancient land, plenty of Lulworth Skippers & Marbled White, plus Dark Green Fritillary, Wall, Brown Argus, Rosy Knot-horn moth, and all the common species.

Found what I am pretty sure is Scabious Longhorn Nemophora metallica at Clayton Meadow on both 08 & 11 July with at least 4 in full sun on Field Scabious.
According to Dorset Moths their have been no recent records in Dorset!
