Red-necked Phalarope (1 Viewer)

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.

Hi Kits

I think that information would be best placed in the Fetlar article, possibly in the Review section.

He's quite right BTW, sit down at the edge of the loch and they're there at your feet!

Please could you put it there for me, Delia, as I have no idea where the article is!

Thankies!
