This is a knot video from Sweden.
Another video says about itself:
Whimbrel (Numenius phaeopus) (Scolopacidae: Snipe, Godwits, Curlews etc.)
In Australia the Whimbrel is found in coastal locations during the warmer months of the year. Birds which migrate to Australia generally originate from eastern Siberia. Here filmed on the Cairns seafront in North Queensland. Can be found in Australia with the larger Eastern Curlew.
From Debby Saunders in Dorset, England, on Twitter today:
Ferrybridge on the outgoing tide 3 Knot, 2 Whimbrel, 10 Sanderling, 5 Turnstone, Bar[-tailed God]wit, 80 Dunlin, 20 Ringed Plover.
