Great Knot
Calidris tenuirostris

(Above) Ras Al Shindwee, Qatar, 17 January 2014 (EOS 7D, 300mm f2.8 + 2x Extender)

The images above show three of the six birds found today, together representing the second ever record for Qatar of this species. Initially found and watched from great distance, we rolled up our trousers and waded out in the mud to get some reasonable record shots - and cracking views through the telescope.
