Turnstone

Hi,

Before meeting up with a few Kent NPNers at a Kent Wildlife Trust do, I snook of to the coast for a session with a flock of Turnstones... how you miss the crop factor, had to be even more stealthy to get within a good range.

All the best

Good to see the great results of your excursion to my neck of the woods Phil.. If you give me a call at some point I will let you know about a location very close by which you might like to try as well..! Good to see you on Sunday and look forward to catching up again soon.
