Here is some information about the Knot Bird:

The knot is a dumpy, short-legged, stocky wading bird. In flight, it shows a pale rump and a faint wing-stripe. It forms huge flocks in winter which wheel and turn in flight, flashing their pale underwings as they twist and turn. Many knots use UK estuaries as feeding grounds, both on migration and in winter, and therefore the population is vulnerable to any changes such as barrages, sea-level rises and human disturbance. Large numbers of birds visit the UK in winter from their Arctic breeding grounds. They can be seen around UK coasts between August and May. Largest numbers can be seen at high tide roosts between December and March. They eat shellfish and worms.
