Another species that can be found on the coastlines all around the archipelago is the Ruddy Turnstone. With anywhere between 50 and 500 breeding pairs, it’s nowhere a common sight, but the highest chance is along the western shores and fjords.

Turnstones also breed on the tundra and rely on their camouflage, but are a bit better in defending their nests against bird attacks. However, Arctic Foxes and Glaucous Gulls still make up for a fair number of chicks that get killed.
When the breeding season is over, they migrate south towards western Europe and Africa where they spent the winter.
Loves the photos! Really awesome work. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from London.
