Phalaropes

Three species, not often seen in the southern parts of the country.  In autumn 2005 first a Red-necked appeared at Slimbridge, and then a Grey appeared on the Town Pond, in the middle of Devises. Both birds were juveniles and in winter plumage.  In autumn 2007 a Wilsons Phalarope was present on the flashes at Upton Warren for a few days,
