I think it maybe a Turnstone Steve, hopefully somebody will verify this.....Funny birds, think they eat almost anything they can get in their mouths. Nice clear shot

Thanks everyone. A Turnstone eh. New one one me. definitely was not afraid of getting close to people and it was actually flicking shells etc. over and I presumed it was to find any bugs hiding underneath.
Cheers
