Red-necked Phalarope
3. June 2024
Varanger, Norway
Female red-necked phalarope (svømmesnipe), photographed in Varanger (Finnmark, Norway) at night under the midnight sun in June.
This is a female, which we can tell because of the color of the plumage, which is more saturated and higher in contrast than the male's feathers. The females are more grey and have a more defined red/orange neck, whereas the males are more brown and dull in color.
