Status: A rare summer visitor in variable numbers off the west coast from May to October. Has bred in Ireland and efforts are being made to re-establish the breeding population.
Conservation Concern: Red-listed in Ireland due to its very small breeding population, as well as having undergone a historic decline. The European population has been evaluated as Secure.
Identification: The same size as Dunlin. Adult summer Red-necked Phalaropes are very distinctive and are unlikely to be confused with any other wading bird in Ireland. The upperparts and head are mostly lead grey, contrasting with the white underparts. Has a white throat patch, as well as an obvious red line extending from the throat along the neck to just behind the eye. The legs and bill are dark, with latter being long and very thin - almost needle-like. Male Red-necked Phalaropes tend to be less brightly marked than females. Birds in adult winter plumage are very similar to Grey Phalarope, differing subtly in patterning of the back and the size of the bill. Predominantly grey and white, with a black stripe through the eye.
Similar Species: In flight Sanderling, Knot and Dunlin; Grey Phalarope
Call: Usually silent when seen in Ireland.
Diet: Feeds on a wide variety of macro-invertebrates and crustaceans, as well as plankton on the open ocean. Has a curious habit of spinning around while feeding.
Breeding: Sexual roles are reversed in Red-necked Phalaropes, with several females competing for males. The latter incubate the eggs, as well as tending to the young. Has bred in Ireland, most recently in County Mayo. The majority of the European population breeds in Iceland and Scandinavia with a few pairs (<50) in northern Scotland. Conservation work is ongoing in County Mayo to reestablish a breeding population there.
Wintering: This species winters in the Arabian Sea feeding on plankton far from land.
Where to see: Is not seen annually in Ireland and there are no reliable sites to see this species in Ireland. Recent sightings have been from Counties Dublin, Wexford, Offaly, Limerick, Wicklow and Mayo.
Genus: Phalaropus

Landmannalaugar is a place in the Fjallabak Nature Reserve in the Highlands of Iceland. It is at the edge of Laugahraun lava field, which was formed in an eruption around the year 1477.It is known for its natural geothermal hot springs and surrounding landscape.
Landmannalaugar is the northern end of the Laugavegur hiking trail. The Iceland Touring Association operates a mountain hut with sleeping bag accommodation for 75 people and a public toilet with showers. During the tourist high season there is also a small shop there that sells coffee and basic groceries, a horse tour agency. ICE-SAR highland patrol in Fjallabak operates from here. Several bus companies have regular trips to and from Landmannalaugar during the tourist season.

Pulicat, Tamilnadu, INDIA
Sep 2016
- Very few photographed records available for Tamilnadu (INDIA)
- A widespread wader distributed across Europe, Asia, and North America, which winters in warm tropical oceans.
- Breeding adult has a white throat, and a red stripe down the side of its neck, while the non-breeding adult is mainly pied with dark
grey upper parts and a black eye mask,
- In India, the bird is a winter visitor, found mainly in the western (Gujarat) and south-eastern (Tamil Nadu) coastal waters of the country.
The Muskegon Waste Water facility near Muskegon Michigan is one of the best places to see birds in Michigan. It is a rare sight in this state though 16 had been seen far out in the pond some days before this.
A red-necked phalarope (Phalaropus lobatus) was found in the VetMed pond on the Virginia Tech campus today. Since they breed in the Arctic, she's a little off-course. (A lifer for me!)

I have to admit, I did flip this photo so it could be used as wallpaper on FB. I only mention it because the bird had some bit of schmutz or reflective something on its left wing, which shows up like a camera blur issue - but it is always at the same place on the wing so it must have been 'a feature'. But not necessarily a bilateral feature.
This little guy was wading around in what's left of Navajo Lake. Apparently the "Do not drive on lake bottom" sign refers to the winter months when it's half-empty. Anyway, I think he's a juvenile red-necked phalarope, but I'm not sure.
Fairly small shorebird known for spinning frantically on water to stir up small invertebrates. Note thin, sharp bill. Breeding females are brighter and more contrasting than males: note white throat, reddish stripe on neck, and buffy stripes on back. Breeding males are duller, especially on head and neck. Nonbreeding is much less colorful: gray above and white below with streaky-looking back and black ear patch. Juveniles have blackish upperparts with buffy stripes, and a black ear patch. Breeds on Arctic tundra. Primarily found on the open ocean during migration and winter; also occurs on lakes, especially in western North America. Often in small flocks, but can gather in incredibly large numbers especially during fall migration. In migration mixes with Wilson’s Phalarope on inland lakes; Red-necked is smaller, more compact, and shorter-billed. On the ocean, frequently mixes with Red Phalarope, the only other oceanic shorebird; Red-necked is best distinguished by smaller size, thinner bill, and slightly darker, streakier-looking upperparts.
