On offer: an original (i.e. not a later reproduction) attractive antique print "Grey Phalarope. Phalaropus fulicarius.", and "Red-Necked Phalarope. Phalaropus hyperboreus."
The red phalarope or grey phalarope (Phalaropus fulicarius) is a small wader. This phalarope breeds in the Arctic regions of North America and Eurasia. It is migratory, and, unusually for a wader, migrating mainly on oceanic routes and wintering at sea on tropical oceans.

This phalarope breeds in the Arctic regions of North America and Eurasia. It is migratory, and, unusually for a wader, winters at sea on tropical oceans.
