High above the southern coastline in the gray southern sky
The lure of home is in them as to their far northern breeding beaches they do fly
The turnstone are leaving the far southern shore
On their long journey home to breed of twenty thousand kilometers or more
These small coastal aerial Worldwide travelers of dark brown to gray
When migrating they travel by night and they travel by day
On Australian beaches from early Spring to Autumn these birds one often does see
They are a familiar sight to many and a familiar sight to me
From Country to Country and from shore to shore
Every year by sky they travel forty thousand kilometers or more
Their offspring will travel south with them after being born and raised in the northern Spring
The wonders of Nature are an amazing thing
Above the southern coastline in the Autumn dawn cool and gray
The turnstone home for to breed northwards are on their way.
