Fuerteventura -  Turnstone

Whilst you could get close to the Whimbrel, you could get even closer to Turnstone. Whilst there were lots of Whimbrel, they were all individual birds, whereas Turnstone were numerous, running around in the beach in large numbers. If you walked out onto the rocks and waited then they would come up and walk around your feet. They are quite striking birds and I enjoy photographing them.
