Old Dog - New Tricks

The great thing about bird watching is you are never too old to learn.

We have just got an email from an esteemed birder - Jono Forgham - who corrected my description of a turnstone in our photo gallery.

He said it was in fact a sanderling moulting into winter plumage. ID hints; black legs, orange around face and grey emerging on the mantle.

I have now corrected this but really appreciate how little we know until you hear an expert like Jono!

Thanks Jono!
