turnstone

A very common bird : saw this one some weeks ago on the breakwater of Ijmuiden, NL(Winterresident here)

Turnstone Digiscoped at Pagham Harbour

It was very windy at the North Norfolk coast yesterday - here some Turnstones are getting a little shelter from a hummock of grass

Well Peeps, Its another wet, dark, dank morning again here in Hastings...The good news is, I was able to get out for a short beach walk yesterday. Not a whole lot about, and nothing out of the ordinary, but it was good to get out in the field for the first time this year.

Well Peeps, I managed a short beach walk yesterday, it was great to get out in the nice clean, fresh air. Lots of the usual suspects about, and I did get a brief view through me bins, of a Dartford Warbler in the undercliff. So heres a few new pics for y'all today.

I've been working off of a dongle for the past few days, and its making me tear my hair out...One minute the internet is there, and the next minute its gone, its so frustrating. Our router went belly up on monday night, and we are awaiting the arrival of a new one.

Well Peeps, I spent a few hoursat Lackford Lakes in the company of BF's Tony (Mahsleb) yesterday...What a nice man he is. The weather was crap, but we sat in the hides and chatted, and had a cuppa afterwards. Took some pics of a Great Crested Grebe in the mist, but mine were like the weather, so...

Well Peeps, I will be away for a while today, as I have a dentist appointment around mid-day...Ouch!!! See y'all later.

Three from this month, this year...now that should please some of ya, LOL.

Another very grey and damp day here in the NW so possibly not much photography again! Here's one from our trip to Anglesey earlier this year.

No idea what was going on here, but a couple of the Turnstones were doing this, but with no volume...Perhaps its just a yawn, and they were bored with me taking their pics, LOL.

Well Peeps, I managed a beach walk yesterday, and it was the first time I've seen the Turnstones amongst the fishing boats since their return from their northern breeding grounds. Only about a dozen of em, along with 50 plus Great black-backed Gulls, and a similar amount of...

Not been on BF for awhile, so I thought it was about time I posted a recent shot, this one was taken on a lovely sunny morning, at high tide near my home. Catch up later!

Just when you thought it was safe to go down the beach...another one pops off the memory card!
