Is this a knot or not? UK (1 Viewer)

[Dave Smith]

This wader was photographed at Robin Hood Bay, Yorkshire last week. I thought it was a knot but some of my birding friends thought it wasn't quite right. Any views?

I would go with Knot.

 

[Dave Smith]

Thanks Cristian. I should add that it was alone which is not usual with knot.

Looks good for Knot to me too. I have quite often seen Knot on their own.

It's a Knot. The greenish / yellowish / greyish legs rule out most other waders plus the rather short, stout bill ( proportionally), the chevrons on the flanks and the barred rump and tail.
