'This is good news. Tufted ducks have bred several times at Fowlmere, but only once since 1994 (in 2012). There have been two pairs present this year, so we may yet see a second family.' DR

'I looked out a bedroom window at 7 this morning and saw a
turtle dove sitting on the fence a few feet away. First time I have seen
this delightful bird in my garden. I live in Fulbourn with fields
behind. ....photos not that good as taken through glass
but great to be able to see a turtle dove so clearly in the garden.' AA
