Red-necked Phalarope (Phalaropus lobatus)

Just a record shot of this flock of Red-necked Phalarope (Phalaropus lobatus) off the coast of Yilan, Taiwan

 

The Red-necked Phalarope (Phalaropus lobatus) is a small wader. This phalarope breeds in the Arctic regions of North America and Eurasia. It is migratory, and, unusually for a wader, winters at sea on tropical oceans.
