Fly Buffet at Lake Myvatn - Red-necked Phalarope Shows Off Her Feeding Skills!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by FLPA/Desmond Dugan, we witness the incredible dining skills of a Red-necked Phalarope in her breeding plumage. This adult female bird from Europe's wildlife hotspot, Iceland, knows how to make the most of her summer feast! With its vibrant red neck and elegant wader physique, our feathered friend fearlessly dives into the surface hatch of flies. As she gracefully glides across the freshwater wetlands of Lake Myvatn, it becomes clear that this avian beauty is a true connoisseur when it comes to insect delicacies. The photo showcases nature's perfect balance as these tiny insects become an essential part of the phalarope's diet. With each precise peck and quick flicker of her beak, she effortlessly catches her airborne prey without disturbing the serene waters beneath. Lake Myvatn provides an idyllic backdrop for this mesmerizing moment – its tranquil atmosphere perfectly complementing our protagonist's feeding frenzy. Nestled within Iceland's subarctic landscape, this subpolar paradise offers a haven for countless species like our red-necked wonder. So next time you spot a swarm of flies buzzing around your picnic table or near a lake shore, take inspiration from this remarkable image! Remember that even amidst pesky pests lies an opportunity for some fine-dining entertainment – just like our talented Red-neck
