Turnstone
07 Sep 2012
It's easy to think of Turnstone as a 'winter wader'. The sight of small flocks picking their way along rocky shorelines, shingle beaches and even harbours and other artificial habitats is characteristic of the coldest months of the year. However - and like many other waders - the reporting rate for Turnstone peaks in early autumn. Migrating birds can appear at inland sites at this time of year, as they can in spring, though they are more typically found in coastal localities.
