Turning over a new stone...


The Turnstone is not an uncommon bird, but they tend to be rather skittish. This is the case especially when photographing them, since they're even more wary if you follow them around. I was lucky enough to find some 'tame' birds last year and took full advantage of the oportunity offered, foresaking my family for a few hours to watch these wonderful birds on a quayside. I've heard of them eating cat food from the hand up in Nairn, Scotland, but I was happy just to watch them running about...
