The Great Knot in Norfolk
 |
| (16/6/16) Great Knot left & Red Knot for comparison (Lee Gardiner) |
Great Knot is a monster rarity for the UK, the one that that has turned up at RSPB Titchwell is only the 2nd Norfolk record.
Confusion between the 2 Knots is impossible, size alone is diagnostic.
Many thanks Lee.
