Turnstone at Pagham March 2014

Tweet

A Turnstone 'turning stones' and looking for food. According to the RSPB: Turnstones "spend most of their time creeping and fluttering over rocks, picking out food from under stones." And they certainly do!

This video was taken in the afternoon on 14th March 2014 - walking along the beach looking for birds to photograph and video.

From the RSPB "Amber Status"
"Smaller than a redshank, turnstones have a mottled appearance with brown or chestnut and black upperparts and brown and white or black and white head pattern, whilst their underparts are white and legs orange. They spend most of their time creeping and fluttering over rocks, picking out food from under stones."
