Edward said:All our Red-necked Phalaropes are looking pasty grey now, very few with any breeding plumage left. They're gathering in big numbers and will be heading your way soon.
Michael Frankis said:Not to Britain, regrettably - the Icelandic ones are part of the North American population and head southwest to Canada and then on via California to winter off Peru.
Forgot to add - why d'you think the earth is spinning in the first place?? :-OEdward said:Saw over 1,000 together on a pond near Reykjavik last July, all spinning. Do you think that if all the Red-necked Phalaropes in the world span in the same direction at the same time it would throw the Earth of its axis?
