Ruddy Turnstones are a long distant migrant that spends the summer along our shores. This shorebird forages in the rocks, sand and shallow water at the shore. Their strongly patterned coloration makes them easy to spot. Here one takes flight to join it’s companion to move further along the shore.

We’re on the very northern edge of their winter range so you would have had to really look hard for one when you were living here on the coast!
