Turtle Dove - Dale

Surprised to flush a Turtle Dove late afternoon from a stubble field just east of Broomhill Farm (SM811051) which flew towards the woodland just NE of Maryborough Farm.  Couldn't relocate it.  For those that don't know, there is a nice path now down through the woodland to Castlebeach Bay, a nice circular walk from Dale via Dale Fort.  Not a lot in the woodland other than a handful of Goldcrests, 2 Song Thrush and a few tits, but it looks good.
