Red Knot (Calidris canutus)


Rare winter migrant to mud and sand flats as well as the borders of lagoons and estuaries of the dry zone coastal areas. Even though very gregarious birds, both in feeding and flight, in Sri Lanka it is most likely to be found as solitary individuals or as flocks of 2-3 birds. Red Knot breeds in  far northern lands.
