Watching this Turnstone enjoy a breakfast of mussels reminded me when a girlfriend and I were in France at a restaurant. We couldn't read the menu, so I figured I would just order the most expensive item, which turned out to be mussels! I had never had them before and they were quite tasty!
(I only cropped this slightly.)

I was taking shots of shorebirds when this Ruddy Turnstone approached me. He got very close. Most birds are afraid of people but not this Turnstone!
A very minor crop.
