The Red-necked Phalarope

Hello


One of the special birds of our trip to Iceland in June is the beautiful Red-necked Phalarope. Like many waders it completes a long distance migration to find suitable wintering and breeding areas, and Iceland is home to a great many of them. We saw them every day, often in tiny patches of water by the roadside, sometimes on marshes and lakes and frequently by the shore. In the main they completely ignored our presence and they were just impossible to ignore! No matter how many photos you take of them you just can't resist taking some more!


Regards
