EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this enchanting snapshot captured by wildlife photographer Dave Pressland, a pair of Ruddy Turnstones are caught in a moment of pure serenity. As the sun dips below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow across the scene, these charming birds stand proudly on Whitby's ancient harbour wall. With their vibrant feathers moulting into breathtaking breeding plumage, these adult turnstones showcase nature's artistry at its finest. The 19th-century stone lighthouse stands tall in the background, adding an air of nostalgia to this picturesque coastal town. Whitby's East Pier provides an idyllic setting for these Eurasian beauties to rest and rejuvenate during their migration journey. Their delicate feet gracefully balance on weathered stones as they take in the tranquil waters that stretch out before them. As dusk settles over this maritime haven, it is impossible not to be captivated by the peaceful ambiance created by these elegant creatures and their surroundings. This image serves as a reminder of nature's ability to bring calm and joy even amidst bustling urban environments. So let yourself be transported to this magical moment where land meets sea, where history intertwines with nature – all under the watchful gaze of our feathered friends who remind us that beauty can always be found if we pause long enough to appreciate it.
