It can survive in a wide range of habitats and climatic conditions from Arctic to tropical. The typical breeding habitat is open tundra with water nearby. Outside the breeding reason, it is found along coasts, particularly on rocky or stony shores. It is often found on man-made structures such as breakwaters and jetties. It may venture onto open grassy areas near the coast. Small numbers sometimes turn up on inland wetlands, especially during the spring and autumn migrations. Birds are often faithful to particular sites, returning there year after year.

Ruddy Turnstones are fairly long-lived birds with a low annual mortality rate. They are able to breed when two years old. Their average lifespan is 9 years with 19 years and 2 months being the longest recorded.

The Ruddy Turnstone has a varied diet including carrion, eggs and plant material but it feeds mainly on invertebrates. Insects are particularly important in the breeding season. At other times it also takes crustaceans, molluscs and worms. It often flips over stones and other objects to get at prey items hiding underneath; this behaviour is the origin of the name "turnstone".

Hallo Vicma
It gives me great pleasure to look at this image. The combination of colours of the plumage is a great match with the white chest feathers and is displayed well in front of the coloured background. The details of this photo are of high quality and really outstanding and are jam packed with awesome detail and features. Perfectly framed and pleasing to the eye.

Great POV and comp Vicma, I like the soft split colors of the BG with the blue there...

Hi Vicma,

I'm not sure if I have seen this bird before or not. The wonderful lighting shows off the beautiful colors and shadings of his face and wings. Combined with the snow white breast he is quite lovely. Superb details of the entire Turnstone. I love the pose and the composition.

Hi Vicma.
I am very impressed with the subject. It is clear that beautiful bird and stone as a stage are reproduced perfectly. Lighting, colours, reproduction of all even tiniest details are amazing. However, BG is really great too. Its colouration is unique and wonderful and all together create a superb, pleasant for look, extraordinary picture. My compliments and Bravo.

Cuando te canses del objetivo ese tan malo que tienes me lo pasa eh ... pero sin quitar méritos al Señor fotógrafo. Una bonita captura como de costumbre. Destacaría la luz en esta.
El año bien. Espero que todo te vaya a tí al 100%.

Hola Victor!
Pues sí que hace tiempo, y es que cada vez me cuesta más trabajo encontrar un rato libre para TN. Aun así no pienso abandonarlo y espero que este año me permita encontrar más huequitos, porque tener la ocasión de ver tantas imágenes espectaculares de criaturas tan extraordinarias es un auténtico privilegio. Y ésta es una de tus preciosas imágenes espectaculares. Yo tuve la ocasión de fotografiar a unos cuantos vuelvepiedras en la isla de Lobos en Fuerteventura el año pasado. Este año teníamos la intención de ir a Las Palmas, la próxima semana, pero me temo que al final no voy a poder ir. Una pena.
Me encanta la luz de esta foto. Desde luego la luz es fundamental, además de la nitidez y la apropiada profundidad de campo.
Magnífico trabajo.
Muchas gracias y un cordial saludo.
Hasta pronto,
Maite
