Some 50 European Turtle Doves and 10 White Storks have been released in Devon this summer.

During the second week of June, Rewilding Coombeshead, led by Derek Gow, released the doves at the site near Lifton, south-west of Okehampton. All have remained close by, settling in nearby trees, the organisation reports. Annual releases are planned in the future, too.

At the end of May, 10 White Storks were released and have since taken up residence on the land. Rewilding Coombeshead hopes that the birds establish a breeding colony on site.
