A completely unexpected encounter last week at Bolsa Chica Wetlands was provided by this Black Turnstone which suddenly landed on the railing of the famous footbridge and stuck around... for 30 seconds. It must have been talking to the Forster's Tern who use this as a roost at night.
Very unexpected, and very much out of its typical habitat! Perfect HA and exposure. Tack sharp too. I'm not a huge fan of the perch but you take what you can get :)
I had the pleasure of photographing one while in San Diego, they are sure beautiful and the green BG sets him off nicely. Very good angle, and tach sharp. Only wish for a more natural perch, I'm sure you too :)
