Quay-side Shenanigans - Ruddy Turnstones Take a Splash in Whitstable Harbour!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this delightful snapshot captured by Terry Whittaker, we witness the comical antics of our feathered friends, the Ruddy Turnstones. These adults, donning their non-breeding plumage, have found themselves in quite a peculiar situation on the quay of Whitstable Harbour. With puddles aplenty after a recent rain shower, these waders couldn't resist the temptation to dip their tiny toes into the refreshing waters. Standing tall and proud amidst their maritime playground, they seem to be having an absolute blast! Whitstable Harbour provides an idyllic backdrop for these avian adventurers. Surrounded by fishing boats and quaint seaside town vibes, it's no wonder these turnstones chose this spot as their temporary habitat. Who can blame them? The coastlines of Kent offer breathtaking views that even birds can appreciate. As they hop from one puddle to another with infectious enthusiasm, it's impossible not to chuckle at their playful nature. Their vibrant plumage adds a splash of color against the muted tones of winter - truly Mother Nature's way of brightening up even the dullest days. So next time you find yourself strolling along Whitstable Harbour or any coastal area for that matter, keep your eyes peeled for these charismatic creatures! You might just catch them engaging in some quayside shenanigans that will leave you grinning from ear to ear.
