{ Arenaria interpres } Turnstone.

A winter migrant in the UK, from Canada. I occasionally glimpse them on the rocky shore in my locality, but rarely close. Today was my lucky day. As I scanned the shoreline from the pier, this little beauty flew up to the pier and walked right up to me. Soon another 3 joined it, and for 5 magical minutes they danced around me before flying back to whence they came. I'm still in disbelief, the more so that I managed to capture the moment.
