The ruddy turnstone (Arenaria interpres) is a stocky, short-legged shorebird renowned for its distinctive habit of flipping over stones, shells, and seaweed with its sturdy, slightly upturned bill to uncover hidden prey. A highly migratory species, it breeds on the high Arctic tundra of northern Eurasia and North America before travelling vast distances to winter on coastlines across six continents, from rocky shores to sandy beaches.
This serene photograph captures a ruddy turnstone in non-breeding plumage perched alertly on a rugged coastal rock, its mottled brown-and-white feathers providing perfect camouflage against the textured stone. The bird's short orange legs grip the surface firmly, while its dark, slightly upturned bill points forward, and its sharp eye surveys the surroundings with quiet vigilance.
A softly blurred background of turquoise ocean waves and sparkling bokeh highlights creates a dreamy coastal atmosphere, emphasising the bird's compact form and natural habitat.
Warm natural light accentuates the intricate feather patterns and subtle sheen, resulting in a peaceful yet detailed portrait that showcases the turnstone's understated coastal elegance.

Thank you so very much the mugs are really lovely and you have kept me informed how my order was doing right up to the delivery, your service is 1st class and I will be doing business with you again.
Brilliant! My print is beautiful. I initially ordered the wrong product due to my own error but Carol was so supportive and helpful I cannot recommend her/this company enough.
The attention to detail is above expectations. I'm thrilled with what Carol has done, I will be purchasing again. Thank you
I'm absolutely made up with the print I received from Real World Art. I went for the Koi Carp image - It's very evocative and they've totally captured the serenity you feel watching Koi. You can almost hear the babbling water! What's more, it's a top quality print, pin-sharp and looks great framed up. Couldn't recommend them any higher.. lovely to deal with.. thank you.
Very prompt service, good communication, arrived when promised, lovely item! Would definitely use in the future!
Thrilled to bits with the picture , better than expected
