Not a normal setting for a turnstone photo but they seem quite happy there & I do like how the water in the BG makes the bird stand out in the image.

Any comments / advice welcome

Nice shot Lee, I like the way the Turnstone is looking out into the harbour, good job on the exposure too.

Good bird and detail,, but I feel the wharfe/jetty edge cutting behind the bird slightly draws the eye.

I think you needed a catchlight here, also the harbours jetty is rather dominent for me.
