On reading the prompt for One Word Sunday: Knot it was ìnevitable that I would go with a photo or two of Red Knot I photographed on the Lake Huron shoreline in Southampton early one autumn morning.
One of the juvenile Red Knot in golden light on the Lake Huron shoreline in Southampton, Ontario. I had gone down to the shoreline for the sunrise but spent the time photographing the Red Knot instead.
After feeding, bathing and preening while I took photos this one settled down for a nap. At which point I headed home to get some breakfast.

Incredible first shot!
Thanks Jackie. The golden light and the drop of water on the end of the bill make it a favourite for me.
Stunning! Not a bird I know, so it was surprising, educational and beautiful.
Thanks Debbie. The crazy thing is, there’s many more Red Knot wintering in the U.K. than pass through Ontario on migration but I never photographed the species in the U.K. I didn’t realise until some time after photographing the birds in Ontario that they’re not common around here.
