little turnstone
every pebble in his world
turning, turning

It was a real treat to see this turnstone in his winter plumage the other day. He foraged for food in the narrow spaces between stones whilst I waited patiently nearby, not wanting to disturb him.
Wishing you all a blessed Sunday and a wonderful week ahead,
with love from Xenia xxx

Thank you, it’s still pretty wild here with intermittent hail storms but I think south Wales has been hit badly with floods. Much love to you all 🤗💚🐕xxx

Sweet and lovely birds. I love birds. I would especially love the sound of the birds and the sound of water, should that be a stream there. It looks like it could be, but I don’t see water. Beautiful photos.

Thank you dear Dries, they’re hardy little birds and it’s amazing how they turn the stones over with that relatively short bill 🙂🐦
