Ruddy turnstone

Arenaria interpres

Description:

A shorebird that looks almost like a calico cat, the Ruddy Turnstone's orange legs and uniquely patterned black-and-white head and chest make them easy to pick out of a crowd. These long-distance migrants breed in the arctic tundra, but spend the off seasons on rocky shorelines and sandy beaches.

Habitat:

Small island which is a wild nature reserve in the Indian Ocean
