Turtle Doves

On a different topic, with the advent of web sites I have noticed that there are a surprisingly large number of Turtle Dove records from Welsh coastal counties (and some from inland sites). Also I think I remember seeing images last autumn of young looking birds (Pembs?). Given that the range and density of this species is contracting and the decline seems to be accelerating in the SE of England strongholds, I find it odd that we so many in Wales. I just wonder if the occurrence of Turtle Dove should be looked at more closely...?
