Arenaria interpres

The Nature Notebook from The Times of 23 December 2023 tells me:

"... the turnstone emits a vinyl-scratch alarm call; the 'interpres' of the scientific name means 'go-between' as in the messenger who gives the tell-tale warning to other shore birds of approaching danger. The black-and-white pattern on the back of the bird's flying back is dazzingly stroboscopic, flash lightning in thunder cloud."

But this character (The Little Mole/Der kleine Maulwurf/Mullvaden/Крот) looks like a champ, I think. FBA?

How long have we been without WendiJane now? Have we even seen her this year?

If you have an Alexa device, you could ask about @wendijane

Seriously, she's probably just busy with real life stuff.
