Grey Phalarope

Grey Phalarope / phalaropus fulicarius. Titchwell, Norfolk. 25/10/21.

 

'SPINNER ...' (2)

 

The juvenile Grey Phalarope that made a prolonged stopover at Titchwell in October. It had developed much of its winter plumage but feathers at the top of the mantle remained brown and the bird still had a peachy flush on the front of its neck and upper breast. This record image shows the extent of the orangey coloured base to its beak.
