CommentIt was a privilege to be able to capture this photo of my favourite shore bird, the “Ruddy Turnstone”. I was lying down on the rocky ground, observing them turning stones over one by one in the search for food. They always seemed to have their heads down, focused on their feeding. This shot was captured at a rare moment when one bird faced up. I was lucky enough to have perfect light behind me to catch the reflection in its eyes.
