Ruddy Turnstone

Back to Florida!

If photographing the Brown Pelicans involved a short stroll along the pier, another bird required even less effort. Simply sitting and sunbathing on the beach, allowed photographs of Ruddy Turnstone as they scuttled along the sand, often right up to me! Occasionally I saw fit to expend enough energy to roll over and get a low birds-eye view of this attractive wader!

These are the same birds we simply call Turnstone - so not a new bird, but it was lovely to get this close with such little effort!!
