But it is almost as much fun to see one like this Ruddy Turnstone that I've actually seen and can usually identify. The only difference is that you take better pictures -- but that's pretty much a given!! For us, this has not been a good summer for birding -- (great in many other ways, but ...).... I will be back eventually.

You must surely be overwhelmed :) These are really beautiful and unique birds. They look like they are mosaic with tiny little pieces coming together to form their beautiful whole. If I don't make it to Australia to see some of these birds, I will haunt you from the grave, Ha! I sure would love to see just a handful of what you have shown us over the years ... that would make my life complete. Well, almost :) Have a great week, Stewart ...<br /><br />Andrea @ From the Sol<br />Andrea @ From The Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657271089899579261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-2599335390798390972017-10-25T03:34:49.008+11:002017-10-25T03:34:49.008+11:00I always love watching Turnsttone turn over stones...I always love watching Turnsttone turn over stones in the seaweed.
