V Red-necked Phalarope Jun-24 i

Red-necked phalarope. Grimsey, Iceland. Unlike most birds it the female which has the brighter plumage - used to attract males. After mating the female leaves the male to incubate the eggs. She may go off to find another unsuspecting male ;-) Thanks to www.wildlifeworldwide.com
