Calidris canutus (Red Knot)


English: Red Knot       

Russian: Исландский песочник
Mongolian: Шармаг элсэг
German: Knutt
French: Becasseau maubeche
Japanese:  コオバシギ (Ko-oba-shigi)

Body length: 23-26 cm
Wing span: 47-53 cm

Breeds in high Arctic. Winters on wide tidal flats, locally in huge flocks; smaller numbers occasionally on freshwater pools near cost. Concentrated spring migration late May-early Jun largely unnoticed.

Identification: Rather short-legged, plump wader, larger and stockier than Dunlin. Bill usually straight and rather thick and short (about same length as head), but some have surprisingly long and slightly decurved bill. In flight, has long-winged, short-bodied outline with thin white wing-bar and pale grey (actually finely barred) rump patch. In winter and juvenile plumages, best told by shape, general greyness, prominent light supercilium and rather short greyish-green legs.

  • Adult summer: ♂ average more uniform and richer fufous-orange below than ♀.
  • Adult winter: Plain grey above with thin white fringes to scapulars, white supercilium, grey-streaked breast, and grey bars and chevrons on flanks and undertail-coverts. Juvenile: Like adult winter at distance and undertail-coverts.
  • Juvenile: Like adult winter at distance, but usually with orange-buff wash on underparts (occasionally so strong as to suggest adult summer) and breast and flanks more finely spotted and barred with grey; at close range, upperparts and especially wing-coverts neatly pale-fringed, with dark subterminal crescents.
