A high tide at Titchwell RSPB on Saturday brought in quite close a few different waders early doors, as the tide was so far in you could also get very low in dry sand without getting drenched which was a real treat :-)

There is always part of a knot flock that is on the move either due to birds joining the roost and pushing other birds out of the way or due to birds moving away from predators and I've tried to capture the movement in this photo
Adult Red Knot in breeding plumage - New Jersey, USA
As I’ve mentioned before, I spent a lot of time in 2020 exploring new places in New Jersey to find birds. During the peak of spring shorebird migration, I’ve made few trips all the way down to Delaware Bay to find Red Knots in their full alternate plumage. I can’t wait to come back there again this season
Never stop exploring!!!
Thank you all for kind comments!

The knot is a dumpy, short-legged, stocky wading bird. In winter, it is grey above and white below - in summer the chest, belly and face are brick-red. In flight, it shows a pale rump and a faint wing-stripe. It forms huge flocks in winter which wheel and turn in flight, flashing their pale underwings as they twist and turn. Many knots use UK estuaries as feeding grounds, both on migration and in winter, and therefore the population is vulnerable to any changes such as barrages, sea-level rises and human disturbance. Large numbers of birds visit the UK in winter from their Arctic breeding grounds.

I legami più profondi non sono fatti né di corde, né di nodi, eppure nessuno li scioglie.

A flock of knot flying past the Hoylake promenade. Interestingly, one of them still has remnants of its red summer plumage.
The waders had a very hard time on this high tide because the water levels were so high that they couldn't land for over an hour around high water. Forced into the air they faced very strong winds plus the attentions of a peregrine falcon that despite (or because) of the vast numbers (about 100,000) of waders didn't seem to catch anything.

Crazy Tuesday - Knots. Spot the difference.
I give you two knots one one length of cord.
The bottom knot is a reef knot or square knot. Taught to me as an eight year old Cub(scout) more than 60 years ago.
Left over right and under then right over left and under.
The top knot is a Thief or Threef knot.. It originates to early navy days. The sailors would normally secure the tops of their kit bags using a reef knot but as a security measure they would use the Threef knot so that if somone would go into another sailors kit bag they would not know which knot to use to close it so the sailor whose bag it was would know if it had been tampered with.
HCT everybody!!!!!
283) Great Knot
Great Knot, Calidris tenuirostris,
Their breeding habitat is tundra in northeast Siberia. They are strongly migratory wintering on coasts in southern Asia through to Australia. This species usually can be seen together with other waders species forming large flocks by the beach.

In the Garden.
As the name suggests, the caterpillars of this widespread moth will sometimes feed on knotgrass plants, though not exclusively. They enjoy a wide variety of woody and herbaceous plants, including broad-leaved dock, plantains, bramble, hawthorn, common sorrel, heather, and purple loosestrife. Caterpillars can be seen between June and September, though caterpillars of the southern second generation are around in September and October. They spend the winter as a pupa, in a cocoon on the ground tucked away amongst leaf litter. (The Wildlife Trusts).
Took this yesterday as it walked across the garden path.

Knot - Nudo
Un nudo es un orden y estructura particular en un tramo de cuerda o hilo el cual se estrecha y se cierra no siendo fácil que se deshaga por si solo. La función del nudo es la de sujetar un objeto (incluyendo otra cuerda), o simplemente cambiar su forma para modificar sus prestaciones originales. Los nudos se forman aprovechando el rozamiento de la cuerda con los objetos atados para evitar que deslicen.
A knot is a particular order and structure in a section of rope or wire which narrows and closes it is not easy to undo itself. The function of the knot is to hold an object (including another string), or simply change their form to modify your original. The knots are formed by taking advantage of the friction of the rope with objects tied to prevent slipping.
