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.

Loved this image of our wedding day and was appropriate for our anniversary too...
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.
Brilliant experience and service, we have the Highland Cow framed print, my other half being a lover of cattle and cows and it looks incredible on our picture wall 🂠Thanks Again!!
