～Phalaropus lobatus～

Red necked phalarope, a tiny little bird (ca. 16 cm in length) which breeds throughout the Arctic. They can be seen swimming fast in circles, this is thought to stir up the bottom, they then catch the invertebrates which were disturbed by this. It does make them look very comical.
