Rare birds in Spain

This video from Honduras says about itself:

Phalaropus tricolor

Wilson’s Phalarope

Falaropo picudo

The Wilson’s phalaropes on this video are the smaller birds which keep turning around.

They are in winter plumage, like the bigger birds on the video; marbled godwits, I’d say.

From Rare birds in Spain on Twitter:

29.7.2014 Phalaropus tricolor 1 ind[ividual] + Phalaropus lobatus 1 ind[ividual], Punta de la Banya, Delta de l’Ebre, Tarragona (Jordi Martí-Aledo).

Phalaropus lobatus are red-necked phalaropes.
