Titchwell Turnstones





Turnstones seem to be extremely confiding birds. On my recent trip to Titchwell RSPB there were hundreds of these birds on the beach, picking their way through the flotsam and jetsam that had been washed up by the recent storms. Some were having a snooze as well! They allowed you to get extremely close and weren`t at all bothered by your presence.

    Hello John. Photos 3 and 4 could be used for a (very difficult) Spot-The-Difference competition! I think I can imagine how this lovely bird got it's name.

    Thanks Alan,
    Yes, they seem oblivious as they run around `flicking` stones over!
