Turnstone

I've been seeing lots of woodland birds recently on my ventures out. All done purposely of course, as I want to catch up with as many migrants as I can. I just felt I needed to get back to some waders once again though, and so I have decided to post a very handsome looking Turnstone on the beach at Titchwell earlier this Spring.

There were plenty knocking about on the rocks at the shoreline, but there was quite a gap between the two groups of rocks. This guy decided to go over the top into no man's land, where I was waiting to shoot him down with my camera.
We both came out on top, as he made it to the other side and I got some lovely pictures.

He can feel the intensity of my eye through the lens.

  3. Awesome photos....they are swift movers across the beaches, so your 'shots from the camera' captured him very well.

  6. I love waders and last month I saw and identified my first ruddy turnstone in non-winter plumage! I was happy (I'm always happy when i can ID any shorebird!). I'm going to go back to my own blog and see how mine compares to yours. I do know your pictures are better!
