Turtle Dove, Columha turtur. A summer 

 visitor, arriving in May. Abundant in the oak 

 woods of the weald. Rare in open parts of the 

 county at the same season. On the approach of 

 autumn they frequent fields of rape. After these 

 have been cut or "fed off," their partiality to salt 

 prompts them to haunt the sea-shore. They may 

 then be observed in great numbers on the muddy 

 banks near the mouth of Shoreham harbour, and 

 in similar situations along the coast.
