Fleeing Trump, unlikely, welcome birds of different feather

Driving along the Ring to Clonakilty bay side road in bright sunlight with the tide out, I saw bunches of dunlin roosting along the channels, and a small flock of golden plover.

My friend, Peter Wolstenholme, potter and ace birdwatcher, tells me they may have been knot. I didn’t have binoculars with me at the time.
