The Turtle dove in many ways is a flagship of Knepp. The clearance of scrub and wasteland from the British countryside has pushed this species migrating from sub-Saharan Africa to the brink of extinction in Britain. It is no wonder then that Knepp has seen a dramatic increase in breeding pairs since the project started. Their soft trrrrrring call is once again a common sound between the months of April to June.

Our Animals Drive Biodiversity
By grazing, browsing, rooting and trampling, the free-roaming animals at Knepp create a dynamic mosaic of habitats – from open grassland to scrub and woodland – supporting a rich web of life. Their presence is driving the return of rare species like nightingales, turtle doves, and purple emperor butterflies.
