Undated handout photo issued by South Downs National Park of a Turtle Dove at RSPB Snettisham in Norfolk. Conservationists have released 30 turtle doves in the South Downs National Park in a bid to help the species which is on the brink of extinction in the UK to recover. The bird, famous for its place in the Twelve Days of Christmas Carol and which has inspired writers such as Shakespeare and Annie Lennox, is classified as on the Birds of Conservation Concern's red list and has been the country's fastest declining bird species.
