Checking out the sleeping Turnstone.
Head on into the wind.
Let me know when that tide's coming in won't you

Redshank
The Wirral provides a fantastic habitat for wading birds. On the rocks of West Kirby, along with the Turnstones were good numbers of Redshank. As is often the case here, they were busy shielding their eyes from the strong breeze blowing in off the sea. Others were even busier on the beach. Running around and looking for a nice meal.
