Pictures of 2 males and one female Greenland Knot can be seen here:

One of the males has reddish feathers on throat and underparts. There are
not many Knots left in the Dutch delta and it is usually difficult to come
close to them. Do any of you know if 2nd calendar year Knots reach the
breeding grounds? I have seen pictures of grey winter plumaged Knots taken
on the Siberian breeding grounds but I am not sure these were 2nd CY birds.
Cheers, Norman
