In Australia a one-gram data logger was used to track a turnstone as it undertook a 17,000-mile round-trip for the second successive year. |
Although the turnstone and semipalmated plovers are reminiscent, they are quite distinct and not to be confused. |
The turnstone changes its haunts but little during the breeding season. |
The stout, short-legged turnstone is the most cosmopolitan of birds. |
No turnstone nests were found in 1999, apparently because of very high predation pressure from Arctic foxes. |
The Algarve hosts red knot, common greenshank and turnstone. |
