Red-necked Phalaropes

The Peerie Deuck, or Red-necked Phalarope is one of the star attractions of Shetland. This small colourful wader usually breeds in the Arctic. Fetlar is home to 90% of the British breeding population, so it was a treat indeed to see them. They are of high conservation status, so viewing is from a distance.
