College Rocks Turnstones.

Whilst surveying the College rocks this afternoon looking for Purple Sandpipers of which saw only two,  a flock of Turnstone (I estimated about 30  - I see that Roy had counted 29  just after high tide this morning)  - flew in from the sea, to the shelter of the Prom wall. They then stared bathing in a pool left by the receding tide, a quick shake off then flew back out to continue their foraging  on the more recently exposed rocks.

A bit of a shaky video -  taken holding the camera at arms length out over the railings!
