Double your impact for Turtle Doves

Getting the UK ‘Turtle Dove Ready’

Between 3 and 10 December, we’re joining the Big Give’s Christmas Challenge. That means for one week only, your festive donation to Operation Turtle Dove via our RSPB donation page will go twice as far.

In spring, Turtle Doves fly thousands of miles to reach us, and they overcome incredible odds to get here. Their migration route involves navigating the Sahara Desert and flying up through Spain, Portugal and France. Once they’re in the UK, Turtle Doves need seed food to eat and suitable places to nest, if they hope to survive.

Your donation will go direct to Operation Turtle Dove: partners, farmers and landowners working together to make the UK ‘Turtle Dove Ready’. With your help, we provide the best places for them to feed, ponds and ditches for them to drink from, and scrubs and hedgerows for nesting.

We know we can save Turtle Doves

Go to our donate page on the RSPB website between 3 and 10 December and make your donation go even further – double your donation to double your impact.

Whether you’re making a personal donation, or perhaps as an alternative Christmas present for a friend or relative, this can really help accelerate our work.
