On the last full day of our recent trip to Kangaroo Island we paid a visit to a wonderful little beach called Emu Bay. We had last been there almost 10 years ago to the week – so it was nice to go back. There were a good number of fisherfolk on the beach, and as a result I was surprised when a group of waders shot off from the shoreline.
It was a flock of about 20 – 25 Ruddy Turnstones. One of that flock was clearly braver than the others and hung around a bit. The light was less than great by this time and the bird was running about a lot, so I’m pleased with these shots.
It was a very nice way to end a great week away.
You can find more birds from around the world at World Bird Wednesday.

Enjoy the birds.

Lovely shots of this bird, Stewart.
They are pretty birds with their gorgeous colors. Great shots.
Stewart how is Kangaroo Island to spend a weekend at? I'd love to get over there but I'm not too sure if I'm going to get the opportunity to do so... I miss my car! lol Great shots, I especially like the second one! Cheers.
Great images even though you would have preferred better light.
Great shots Stewart, they do look fast on their feet!
A beautiful little bird Stewart -- and so hard to "catch" these shore runners. Thanks for sharing.
The bird is both demure and beguiling.
Great photos of the Ruddy Turnstones. I also find they are hard to photograph as they so seldom stop still.
Beautiful plumage and I love the bright legs!
beautiful bird and so nicely captured!!!
