This adult red knot was already colourringed by a Norwegian project studying the migration of the western subspecies C.canutus islandica. This bird was one of 1100 red knots colourringed in NW Iceland in May 2014. All birds in this project have yellow flags with a 3-letter or two digit inscription. Birds ringed in Iceland carry flags on the right tibia, while birds ringed in the north of Norway carry flags on the left tibia. Markers (single colourring) on opposite tibia can be yellow or red.
