Great Knot Calidris tenuirostris (Horsfield, 1821) is Endangered widespread shorebird species that occur in Banyuasin Peninsula, South Sumatra Province, Indonesia. We compiled the published and unpublished reports of Great Knot in the Banyuasin Peninsula from 1984 to 2021. The population trend is shown to be increasing, based on the comparison in numbers of Great Knot between periods 1984 to1989 (six reports, maximum count 66 birds and average 31 birds), with the numbers between 2008 to 2021 (six reports, maximum count 300 birds, average 155 birds). Compared to other shorebirds in Banyuasin Peninsula which can be observed in numbers up to 25.100 birds (Black-tailed Godwit Limosa limosa) and 7.061 birds (Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata) in a single observation, the number of Great Knot is relatively low, but this number is regional significance in Indonesia.
