Beskrivelse: Every year, during the two first weeks of August, the Sandvika beach in Vardø is the favoured place for young Red-necked Phalaropes. Max number I have registered is 600 birds (allmost all 1st-year birds) around the beach and the nearby breakwater (molo). more photos at:

Thanks for comments!
I have been following Netfugl for a long time. Allways checking in for latest news, id-debates and new photos. Great inspiration. It was about time to join the forum and contribute..

And you couldn't have chosen a more spectacular entry....the composition, the dynamics, the subtle colours and the fact that all seven birds - even the number is significant - attain different positions of wings and legs contribute to the moving impact this magic image has on the viewer.....
Dare I say a once in a lifetime photo?
Many thanks, TORMOD, for a Formidable, dynamic
Gull picture,
demonstrating in a split-second, the ad. Glaucous-w.,
in Norwegian summer, to the left,
- with Dark eye and and Grey on underwing.
Great Compliments ... C.

Er der nogle der kan komme med et bud på kønnet , jeg mener selv det er en han , men mangler erfaringer på området ;) Er de "rød" nok til at være af hankøn ?
Hej Susanne,
Efter min mening er fuglen en hun, idet hanner ville have mere tydeligt rødt på strube, hals og ansigt.
Jeg er dog på ingen måde sikker, så du må nok håbe på svar fra en ringmærker med erfaring i arten fra forårstræk (eller yngleplads)
Hilsen
Peter
Hej Peter.
Jeg er som nævnt ikke så klog på området .. men fuglen her var meget teritoriel , et par andre pibere blev ofte gennet væk fra stenene hvor den yndede at sidde og synge :) ... gør hunnerne det samme ?
