Phalaropus lobatus (Red-necked Phalarope)


English: Red-necked Phalarope
Russian: Круглоносый плавунчик
Mongolian: Нарийн сэлээхэй
German: Odinshuhnchen
French: Phalarope a bec etroit
Japanese: アカエリヒレアシシギ (Akaeri-hireashi-shigi)

Body length: 17-19 cm.
Wing span: 30-34 cm.

Breeds on wet marshes and pools and osier delta lands on mountainsides above tree limit or on tundra; extends farther inland and to higher altitude than red Phalarope. Migrates in late Jul-Aug/early Sep (earlier than Red), mainly non-stop towards SE across Europe to winter in Arabian Sea, where it leads pelagic life far from land. Scarce on autumn passage, feeding at coasts, inland marshes and pools. In W Europe rare in spring, too, but in N Baltic and further east may occur in very large flocks in late May. Nest in vegetation near water. Sex roles reserved as with Red Phalarope.

Identification: General size, shape and behavior much as described for Red, but a little smaller and daintier, with slightly shorter body (less gull-like when swimming), and bill very thin (not laterally flattened) and always all back.

  • Adult summer: Crown, cheeks, back of neck, breast-sides and mantle lead-grey, throat and small spot above eye white. Variable amount of red or rufous-ochre on sides of neck, neater and more intense on ♀, less colourful and with less clear-cut pattern on ♂.
  • Adult winter (rarely seen in Europe): Medium grey above, with distinct whitish mantle-V and scapular fringes (Red Phalarope paler and almost plain).
  • Juvenile: Unlike Red Phalarope, has prominent ochrous-buff (or whitish when faded) Vs above on both mantle and scapulars, a solid dark cap, and a faint pinkish-grey hue on neck/breast-sides (which, however, quickly fades to white).
