EDITORS COMMENTS
Rockin' and Rollin' for Bivalves! This Ruddy Turnstone knows how to have a shell of a time on the rocky beaches of East Yorkshire. With its striking non-breeding plumage, this adventurous bird is on a mission to find some delicious bivalves for lunch. Armed with its sharp beak, it skillfully navigates through pebbles and rocks in search of these tasty treats. As the waves crash against the shore, our feathery friend fearlessly scours every nook and cranny for mussels and other shellfish delights. It's like an all-you-can-eat buffet just waiting to be discovered! With each successful catch, you can almost hear this turnstone saying 'Mmm. . . shell-icious!' This coastal superstar isn't just limited to British shores though - it's also found across Europe, Asia, North America, and even as far as Eurasia. Talk about being well-traveled! Winter may be upon us, but that doesn't stop our determined turnstone from enjoying its seaside feast. So next time you're strolling along the beach in East Yorkshire or anywhere else around the world where these charming birds reside, keep an eye out for their acrobatic antics as they flip stones and gobble up those delectable bivalves. They truly are nature's own rock stars!
