Three turnstone on the beach were the clear highlight of a quick check of the Orcombe area. I'm assuming this trio consists of two females and a male (top right). Regardless of age or gender they are really beautiful waders - regular on Maer Rocks in the winter but not so common in May as they head north. A first summer mediterranean gull was loafing offshore but I didn't look for long. Instead I decided to have a look at Woodbury Common but it was shrouded in thick mist. It was very pleasant just strolling around under the magnificent spring beech trees though, listening to singing stock doves.
