Turnstone - Arenaria interpres.
Routing (flicking, bulldozing and pecking)
through the seaweed on the beach for small
crustaceans,gastropod molluscs and
in one of the pictures the odd fly.
Adults returning from - hopefully
a successful breeding season.
The last remnants of their summer plumage
showing dusky orange red in the sunlight.
Young ones less brilliant with small
dusky buff fringes on lower wing feathers.

The big questions

Where did they breed?
and
Where to now?
