Red knot (Calidris canutus) partly in its summer plumage. This shorebird is on passage to the south of England during its migration from Greenland. An adult Knot can grow up to 26 centimetres in length with a 47-53 centimetre wingspan. It feeds on spiders and anthropods during the summer but its diet changes in winter to hard-shelled prey including bivalves,gastropods and small crabs.
