Harbourside Turnstones

Whilst down at Scarborough harbour on Monday I spotted this Turnstone near to in very good light and could not resist a few shots.

We have  a good number of these birds resident and they are easy to picture as they are used to people and almost get under your feet, they are such characters though.

I also wanted to share one or two more shots of the Iceland Gull as it was great to get some good shots using the benefit of the light.
