EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by FLPA/Desmond Dugan, we witness the incredible multitasking skills of an adult male Red-necked Phalarope. Sporting its vibrant breeding plumage and partially webbed feet, this dapper wader from Europe knows how to make a splash! Perched on the picturesque Lake Myvatn in Iceland during a sunny June day, our feathered friend is caught red-footed as it indulges in a delectable feast of fly hatchlings. With its keen eye for insects and lightning-fast reflexes, this phalarope effortlessly snatches up its airborne prey while gracefully gliding across the water's surface. As one of nature's true acrobats, this avian daredevil showcases both elegance and efficiency. Its partially webbed feet allow it to navigate through wetlands with ease, making it a master at hunting aquatic delicacies like flies. Talk about having your cake (or should we say flies?) and eating it too! Living life on the edge between land and water, these stunning birds are no strangers to adventure. From their subarctic Nordic summer home to the Atlantic islands of Iceland, they bring color and charm wherever they go. So next time you spot a Red-necked Phalarope enjoying its fine dining experience amidst breathtaking scenery like Lake Myvatn – remember that sometimes all you need are some
