Today I observed what I believe is a Great Knot in partial breeding plumage Could the group’s shore-bird experts take a look and confirm or identify otherwise.

Two images, one with a Bar-tailed Godwit for comparison.
Location was Taren Point Shorebird Community site, currently undergoing an upgrade by the Sutherland Shire Council.
Thanks.

Wow, that was quick. The ink was hardly dry, if such a thing applies to email! I was in the area and just went to check out the site, never having been there before. I had no ‘scope or field guide, just my 8X 40s and the camera. It was far enough away that I could not pick it in the binocs but the photo’s came good. Thanks everybody. Roger.
Yes, it’s Knot.
Regards, Laurie.
