Red-necked Phalaropes are quite common in Iceland. Around the end of July they all gather to a couple of ponds in the West where they molt, before embarking on the migration that will take them as far as the Pacific coast of Peru!

A nice Dunlin in breeding plumage. The nice thing in Iceland in summer is that there is light for 24 hours, even though in part of the "night" it gets a little darker. This picture was taken very late in the evening!

For some reason it hadn't occurred to me that I was looking at a new lifer and also a new species for Birdviewing. I only realized after returning home this was not a Semipalmated Plover!
