Red Necked Phalorope
Having been away for 3 years it is hard to know what to post so I thought I would cover species that are not so well represented on the site. To be honest this is something I try to do with my photography anyway.

This photo was taken in Norway. The normal Shetland site is no longer an option as, dispite an increase in numbers on fetlar, they have changed loch to a private one.

Comments always very welcome

Ian

A little dark, the eye area is a bit lost but I like the close up and protrait crop.

I agree with Neil about the but it is good to see different species :wink:

As Phil says- Post whatever you like. If you want comments though, then you have to be a bit more selective :biggrin: :biggrin: :wink: :wink: :smile:

Super shot Ian. They are wonderful birds indeed. By the way, I was on Fetlar a couple of weeks ago and there was a pair in the usual place, and being very cooperative as well :toast:
