Knot - Calidris Canutus
Norfolk
The knot is a medium-sized, short, stocky sandpiper that migrates to the UK in large numbers during winter from its Arctic breeding grounds. Commonly spotted feeding in estuaries around the coast, the largest numbers can be seen at high tide roosts in the depths of winter. A long-distance migrant, the knot can travel up to 15,000 km, stopping along the way at least once to feed. Knots eat invertebrates, molluscs and crustaceans which they find by probing their bills in the mud and sand; special sensory organs in their bill tips help them to detect buried prey in a similar fashion to the way echolocation works in bats.
The knot is fairly large and chunky, with short, green legs. In winter, they are silvery-grey on top and white underneath. In summer, they are brick-red underneath, with speckled, rust-brown upperparts. The bill is long, black and straight.

Untangle my knots
and tie me in a bow,
make the mess pretty,
make me fit to be in the show,
wave yourself in,
if that's something you can do,
just whatever it takes
to make me part of you.

The Grapevine knot is the way to join two ends of a line to form s single line and is an excellent and reliable way of joining two climbing ropes. It can be used for a full rope-length abseil; after which it should still be possible to retrieve the rope. If tied wrongly it can fail. If you tie it and your life depends on it, inspect it carefully. If someone else ties it, inspect it extremely carefully.
