ποΈEuropean turtle dove
De zomertortel (Streptopelia turtur), traditioneel bekend als tortelduif, is een lange-afstandstrekker uit de familie van de duiven (Columbidae). Het is de enige Europese duivensoort die 's winters ten zuiden van de Sahara verblijft. De soort broedt in bosschages, houtwallen, bosranden, boerenerven en fruitboomgaarden in de buurt van landbouwgebieden. De soort gaat sinds het midden van de 20e eeuw hard in aantal achteruit door de intensivering en homogenisering van de landbouw en anderzijds ook door de intense jachtdruk in de Mediterrane landen tijdens de trekperiode en in de overwinteringsgebieden.
