Red-necked Phalarope

A generally pretty miserable day as far as the weather was concerned considerably brightened eventually by the juvenile Red-necked Phalarope at Thorney Island today. I'd bumped into a few friendly birders there early on but the rain & wind made viewing nigh on impossible. Fortunately I managed to take advantage of a break in the weather late afternoon and was afforded very nice views of the bird down the front of the Little Deep.
