Let me guess, what you really want to know is; is the red necked phalarope still here?
Yes it is. It doesn't have a red neck but as of today it's still around. This bird is a juvenile in winter plumage so it's a lovely snowey white with black head and wing markings. Last seen on the scrapes but it's been moving about a lot so check in the Visitor Centre for the latest position.
