Ruddy Turnstone (Arenaria interpres)
This photo was taken just after sunrise in Long Reef Aquatic Reserve, Sydney Northern Beaches. Ruddy Turnstones are migratory birds, breeding in Northern Hemisphere, visiting Australia from September to May. These birds in the photo are having non breeding plumage.
It is supposedly very skillful in turning over the stones to find it’s dinner. These birds are very shy, it is impossible to get within 3-4 meters from them. These small birds are always busy moving around, photographing them was a challenge.
Life could be a very long and lonely journey without company. How lucky are these birds…

Haha… Tanzeel. Unlucky if the friend does not have to stamina/determination to keep going. I am reminding you about my 100miles lonely cycle ride.
It was not the stamina, my friend.
