Red-necked Phalarope

It was back to Wilstone where mid morning a male Red-necked Phalarope had been found just off the jetty. The last record was almost in the same spot back in 2002 when a stunning female had been relocated from College Lake. A gap of 18 years since the last county record. Strangely the previous bird to that one at Wilstone was 18 years before that so going on those records the next one there should be in 2038!
