Red-necked Phalarope feeding video- Óðinshanar á sundi

Watching the phalaropes swimming is mesmerizing!

 

The red-necked phalarope (Phalaropus lobatus) is a small wader with lobed toes to assist with their swimming. When feeding, a red-necked phalarope swims rapidly in small circles, forming a small vortex and then plucks small insects that get caught by the whirls.
