Very far in the distance a group of shorebirds shared the mudflat with the black-necked stilt, the wattled jacana and the common gallinule. When enlarging the photo we found lesser yellowlegs Tringa flavipes (right), wilson's phalarope Phalaropus tricolor (center) and pectoral sandpiper Calidris melanotos (left)

The phalarope nests in the Northern Hemisphere and migrates south to spend the austral summer. When they arrive here in general they are in non-breeding plumage which is grey to the upperparts and white to the underparts. Nevertheless, there may be individuals showing traces of nuptial plumage. For example, we can see a still conspicuous line which runs down the eye along the side of the neck and the plumage presents rufous colouring on the back.

A boreal migrant which ravels from the Northern Hemisphere till Tierra del Fuego along the Andes. Some minor groups deviate and arrive in Buenos Aires. Before it was common to see them in the ponds. This only individual at Coypu Pond is certainly one of first to arrive.
