Bird 161004 is waiting to follow in the slip stream of Titan, the first turtle dove to be tracked from his breeding grounds in the UK to his wintering grounds in Africa and back, and needs a name! 161004 is one of 6 newly satellite tagged turtle doves, which were fitted with light weight backpack trackers in Eastern England this summer (see our recent post – East Anglian turtle doves will reveal more migration secrets). We have whittled the hundreds of possible names, suggested over the weekend by supporters, down to the top three and now we need to pick a winner!
