Here in the UK I would certainly associate the species with stony shores -
concrete embankments seem especially popular in winter and on migration.
Even when I have seen this species on an estuary it tends to inhabit the
rocky streams (complete with obligatory shopping trolley!) which feed into
it. Only rarely have I seen this species out on the estuary proper.

They breed beside lochs and fast flowing upland streams, both of which tend
to be pretty rocky.
