Description One of those lively little birds that you find at the harbour of Scheveningen/The Netherlands.
Who tells me its name?

PS. With many thanks to several of you I can now add that the name of this bird is: "Turnstone" (English), "Steenloper" (Dutch), "SteinwΓ€lzer" (German), "Tournepierre Γ  collier" (French), "Voltapietre" (Italian). The Latin name is: Arenaria interpres.

It looks like a turnstone (Steenloper).
Nice capture.

Thanks for the praise and the info. He may be fatter than ususal as there is a lot of food at the fish-harbour of Scheveningen.

Do not worry. There were others nearby.

One more thing: you may be interested to know that I have three galleries on dA, with different purposes. Feel free to take a look at the other two, too:
