Abstract:The most important cause of the declining numbers of wading birds is a combination of habitat loss and degradation, as well as low productivity due to predation. Knowledge of the habitat requirements of this endangered group of species is critical for maintaining and restoring suitable breeding habitats.

This study was undertaken in three sites in Poland, the m… Show more
