Along mediterranean cost, a Ruddy Turnstone in its prefered habitat
Arenaria interpres (French : Tournepierre à collier) - Sainte-Marie-de-la-mer, Bouches-du-Rhône, France.
This indivudual was foraging along a wild beach near Sainte-Marie, south of Camargue in Southeast France, and I observe him in the morning, where and when I expected to find it. It is between breeding and wintering plumage, as the season is shifting from summer to fall. This plumage is still beautifuly patterned lukily. A small population is living in this part of the country, and they are interesting to follow and watch, as this species and genus has a different behaviour comparing with others waders. See the next picture for a deeper description.
