- Phalaropus lobatus
Description
one of the few bird genera where the female alternate is the prettier bird.
Identification
shot in Iceland
Loch Funzie, Fetlar, Shetland
June 2004: I had heard that one could watch this charming little wader through the window of your car, but I didn't believe it! As soon as I had parked by the Loch a flurry of birds flew around us very closely. They settled on the loch picking at impossible small invisible prey of the water surface. They were very approachable allowing excellent viewing without binoculars. At least 6 birds were present and possibly twice that number; a pair of red-throated divers were also there.
